One thing is that the Pismo has 100MHZ bus speed and I see that G3 Ibooks have just 66MHZ I'm not sure if that is that much of issue but I was wondering if runs panther better and you can also have gig of ram in the pismo and 640 in the Ibooks On May 23, 2004, at 3:17 PM, John A wrote: On

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

It also depends on the revision of 750 is in the Bluechip versus on the original CPU card. The Powerbook G3s were pretty bad on the power-efficiency compared to the current G3 crop. Even the first-gen G4s had better power efficiency than the G3s the Lombard and Pismo came with. (Just working
