My one gripe is
that battery life in general is relatively short (2.5 - 3 hours max on 1).
Thus I tend to stay tethered to my power adaptor most of the time.
I usually get about that with my MacOS 9.2.2 (384 MB RAM) PB Firewire.
Sounds
In Mac OS 9 I got about 4.5 hours when my battery was new. With X ...
well, not that much ... of course now I can't get anywhere near that
much with 9 either as my battery is getting on a bit.

increase with more RAM?
Hi all,
I'm running 10.2.1 on a 192MB (128 +64) 400MHz Pismo.
Currently, it is running fine but I'm wondering if adding more RAM, say to
bring the total to 768MB or 1024MB, will have any significant impact on
performance?
Can anyone who has done this comment? I regard
Holy Cow! Are you saying that Apple restored this feature in Jaguar? I
tried it back in 10.0 (I think) and of course, crashed the computer
(also a Pismo), so gave it up and figured Apple wouldn't bother fixing
it, since the current 'books don't have a second battery to swap. I saw

Yes, it will. UNIX OSes love RAM, a lot, and their performance is
directly tied to it, more so than other OSes. Mac OS 9 would plateau
after a while but Mac OS X continues to improve the more RAM installed.
I have 768MB in my Pismo 400 up from 320 a week ago, very noticeable.
Mac OS X is
Another consideration is the backup power. With 512MB, the Pismo has
enough backup battery to allow you to swap batteries with the machine
asleep. With 1Gb, it apparently doesn't; you have to shut down or have
AC support. I don't know about 768MB.
This part I don't get. Can you explain?

Interesting, I had never heard anything like this. You know of any tech
data on it? It seems like poor planning on Apple's part if its true.
When you put your Pismo to sleep and remove the main battery, the
Backup Battery (a rather small lithium (?) battery) maintains your RAM

I don't think it is poor planing, it was only designed to preserve the

Yes. It should be significantly faster. I've experienced this on a G4
Cube (going from 128 to 640), an iBook (from 128 to 384) and a Pismo
(from 192 to 640). You'll see far fewer spinning beachballs.
