But they list clamshell iBooks which had 4MB of Video RAM and up to what, 466MHz processors with a max of what 768MB RAM? The Pismo came with 8MB Video RAM, up to 500MHz processors and a max of 1GB RAM. Doesn't make sense...what could be the limiting factor? - Original Message - From:

OSX on my Pismo with a 400MHz G3 and 512 RAM was fast. With the bluechip upgrade to 900MHz and 1 GB RAM it is even better, but even at 400MHz, it was fast enough. - Original Message - From: Bruce Ryan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: G-Books G-Books@mail.maclaunch.com Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005

I had the issue that was supposedly a G4 PowerBook issue of the screen not coming back on after waking from sleep after I installed 10.3.7. Even with 10.3.8, my Pismo is still doing it. Runs great when I don't let it sleep, but hard restarting after sleep just sucks and I'm sure it is hell on my

I put a Matshita DVD-RAM UJ-811 which is a CDR/DVDR Superdrive into the DVD caddy of my Pismo and installed Patchburn. Not only can I burn CDs and DVDs with Toast, but with Patchburn 3, OS X identifies the drive as Vendor Supported so even iDVD will work with it. Better yet, the drive's face works

It is common. It happened to a used PowerBook I bought. It was fine for a month then exhibited the symptoms you mentioned on every wake from sleep, every bootup. It will fade and shouldn't be noticeable as long your brightness is on full. Rumors were that it was the Samsung LCDs and not the LG

When I've attempted to do this, the predictable outcome was that the visible display shrunk down so that there was a huge black box outside the desktop. The only way I've found to keep the desktop at full screen is at 1024 x 768, but maybe that has to do with the monitor as well. This was a 21

Re: Exceeding the RAM max

2003-11-18 Thread Mark Edward Attew
I believe (from when I had a clamshell SE) the onboard soldered RAM is 64MB and you have one expansion slot. At the time, I think the max. RAM chip you could get was a 256MB, maxing you at 320MB. Now you can buy 512MB chips that will slide into your expansion, maxing you at 576MB theoretically.

Right, I was an iBook SE 2000 owner and was a bit miffed about no hardware acceleration for my video card when X came out. My iBook was really almost unusable in X with the slow video redraws. I too bought a Pismo that I upgraded with the G3 900 upgrade and a gig of RAM so I am not complaining

I have my Bluechip G3 900MHz upgrade happily accelerating everything Mac on my Pismo and so far the performance boost is tremendous. My only complaint is battery time...before the upgrade while I was running at 400Mhz, my battery would last about 3.5 to 4 hours which is pretty good considering

Another question is, why do we want to burn DVD's on a Pismo/Lombard? FWIW, I just burned a Video CD in Toast - for 38 minutes of video, my TiBook 500 took 4:20 to prep the file. That's hours. I'd think a G3 will be somewhat slower I'm hoping my G3/900 upgrade will help in the speed
