Lombard running hot/Pismo also

2005-12-16 Thread Paul K. Dezendorf
I had concerns about heat with a Pismo. I solved that problem by raising the Pismo up and also gaining more traction. I found some large rubber bumpers (maybe an inch and a quarter square and half an inch high) - the same ones as used under objects placed on wooden tables - like the little

My final solution was to pull the rubber pads off a monitor stand I had lying around. Mine are about 1/2 inch high and about an inch wide. I also wince when I look at it, but then I remember the cooling effects. Thanks for all the help, everyone. Caleb On Friday, Dec 16, 2005, at 07:43

Lombard memory

2005-12-16 Thread B.L.
Hello there fellow G-Bookies I have information that I need confirmed regarding the ram in the Lombard. I know there are two memory slots, I also know that the Lombard can take up to 512mb of ram. I also know or think I know that one of the ram sticks must be low profile in order to work in the

Yes, there are two slots. One does have to be low profile, because the lower slot is located underneath the processor daughtercard. Hope this helps. Caleb On Friday, Dec 16, 2005, at 15:36 America/Chicago, B.L. wrote: Hello there fellow G-Bookies I have information that I need confirmed

Re: USB2 for Pismo - use a PCI Card?

Hello List, Is there a PCI Card out there for a USB2 port that works with a Pismo? Are there any other options for adding USB2 to a Pismo? Thanks, Barry Barry, I just use a standard PCMCIA card adapter which I acquired on eBay for under $20.00. It works great with my iPod 30 gig video.

Zoltan et al., Thanks for the tips. Its nice to see that there is a cheap solution for this issue. Actually I need the card for a Canoscan 8400F that purchased and then saw the spec for USB 2.0. I'd rather attach the scanner to my 1 GHz eMac, but looks like I'm out of luck there as it only

Allow me to answer that question. Apple dropped Firewire support with the 5G, or Video iPod, so Zoltan can't use Firewire with it. Hope this helps, Caleb P.S. I use the USB 1 ports on the back of my Lombard to sync my 5G and I don't have any trouble. On Friday, Dec 16, 2005, at 18:41

The low-profile RAM is required for the lower memory (the slot on the underside of the circuit board). Art Richard (St. Petersburg, FL) On Dec 16, 2005, at 4:36 PM, B.L. wrote: Hello there fellow G-Bookies I have information that I need confirmed regarding the ram in the Lombard. I know

Intel Macs (Was USB2 for Pismo - Use a PCMCIA Card?)

2005-12-16 Thread Caleb Cupples
Well, to be honest, I'm looking forward to the new Intel PowerBooks, just because I think Apple is making a good move. I love the PowerPC, but the x86 hardware runs cooler than the G4 or G5. The only reason I don't have one is because I prefer the Mac experience. Caleb On Friday, Dec 16,

I should clarify that my G3 runs cooler than any of my PC notebooks have, but the G4 is just plain hot, and not only in the styling department. Ask anyone who has used a TiBook or an AlBook for any length of time. Plus, the G5 has to have water cooling to run at a decent temperature. I

Hi, I just tried to install additional memory into a Pismo I just got. It was working fine before I tried to add memory to the machine. When I tried to start up after putting the memory in the slots, I got a beep. I tried again and got the same thing. Figuring the problem was the

Not all G5 PowerMacs are water cooled - though that may have changed with the dual core machines. Actually my G5 dualie runs cooler than my Pentium machine (judged both by reported processor temps and the heat from the fans and the fans on my dualie almost run more than the lowest speed.)

I didn't know about the air-cooled G5. However, I do remember the G3 Lombard and Pismo managing extraordinary battery life on one or two batteries. Then again, I'll be using my Lombard through the end of High School, so there. I'll have to check real-world life on mine, but I'm sure it'll keep
