Re: Ram & HD Pismo upgrade

Anthony, to max out the pismo you'll need 2 512MB SO-Dimms. They're running about $60 each now for reliable but not top-of-the-line memory. There have been a number of emails about 40GB drives, they range from $150-$200 from IBM or Toshiba. Opening the machine is blood simple, but I'd go to www

Re: Ram & HD Pismo upgrade

You can't upgrade the RAM to maximum with only 128 MB sticks. The Pismo only has two RAM slots, meaning you can only have two RAM sticks. If you get two 512 MB RAM sticks, you'll have 1 GB of RAM. But that is probably overkill for almost everything. 320 MB means that you have a 256 MB and a 64
