Hummm, I will have to look into that a little more then. I do remember Sonnet mentioning about the processor cycling problem but, you bring up an interesting thought. Byron On Thursday, January 30, 2003, at 05:35 PM, P.F.Grenier wrote: > > On Thursday, Jan 30, 2003, at 17:30 US/Eastern, Byron

Re: Considering CPU upgrades for wallstreet

Battery life for me has been shorten but not excessively. As we all know there are some many variables when it comes to measuring battery life. I have a battery in each bay for both of my WS PB's and I can get on average 2.5 to three hours of life. Be advised that I use a PC card for Firewire

Re: Considering CPU upgrades for wallstreet

I too have a question regarding the processor upgrades for the wallstreet machines. What can one expect for battery life after the upgrade especially for the G4 upgrade? Can someone who has the upgrade comment on this? Also to clarify a point made earlier, not all powerbook series II

Well, as he said, it would run on the regular firmware instead of requiring software to run. Are there problems when attempting to boot up from a volume that doesn't have the special software installed on it? For example, a system installer CD? I'm not exactly sure how it works... the only acce

What will be the advantage of your upgrade to that of Sonnet or PowerLogix? Byron On Thursday, January 30, 2003, at 03:00 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > FWIW, we're going to be releasing a 500mhz G3 card for the Wallstreet > within > 15 days, which will NOT require any software to run, as it

Re: Considering CPU upgrades for wallstreet

FWIW, we're going to be releasing a 500mhz G3 card for the Wallstreet within 15 days, which will NOT require any software to run, as it runs on the original apple firmware. It will be quite competetively priced, and will be on our website.. Thanks, David - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Good point. I neglected to mention. This can be a big issue for OS X, although I have not had any problems to date. Some screensaver graphics and similar items run choppy. Thanks, Byron On Thursday, January 30, 2003, at 01:39 PM, Hal wrote: > Another thing to remember, besides the 66mHz bus

Gary, let me give you my experiences. I have two WS PB, a 14 in screen and a 13 in screen. I have put a Sonnet G3 500Mhz in both with easy installation and no problems in operation. I am running OS 10.2.3 on both as well as OS 9.2.2. Neither have had any problems. But be aware of something tha

Considering CPU upgrades for wallstreet

I'm thinking of a Sonnet CPU upgrade for my wallstreet and I'm thinking of the 500Mhz G3 card has anyone done this upgrade? is it good upgrade? and considering the 500Mhz G4 upgrade card is only $100 more would it be better to get it? Thanks Gary -- G-Books is sponsored by
