Re: Burning DVD's on a Pismo

Obviously the first thing I need is the DVD burner. Probably will go with the internal. But I was wondering if I had enough horsepower to accomplish this. Anybody out there burning DVDs on a Pismo? What upgrades would help the most? G3 900 or G4 500? More RAM? Faster hard drive speed? I ad

Re: Burning DVD's on a Pismo

Actually, I've burned DVD from my Lombard using an external burner (Sony DVD RE DW-U18A - Firewire) and Toast Titanium 6. Lombard is a 400 with no upgrade. As for the upgrade, nice to have (I want one too) but not necessary for your project, IMHO. Henry I have a Pismo 400MHz, 768 RAM, 40G

Burning DVD's on a Pismo

I have a Pismo 400MHz, 768 RAM, 40G running 10.3.9. Obviously the first thing I need is the DVD burner. Probably will go with the internal. But I was wondering if I had enough horsepower to accomplish this. Anybody out there burning DVDs on a Pismo? What upgrades would help the most? G3 900 or
