Pismo Questions

2004-12-02 Thread Rad Craig
I just purchased a Pismo (two actually (one for little sis)) and I looked up the specs at apple.com but didn't find what I was looking for. I know it has a DVD player, is that drive a CD burner also or only a player? Are the USB ports USB 2.0 or 1.0? Rad... -- G-Books is sponsored by

I found a pismo that has some problems. I think it may be the video card portion as he says that it boots up fine, but the LCD and any external display just display white, all uniform in color. Any ideas of what could be the problem with this so that I might find a replacement part for the bad

Hey Pete, I have a Pismo and love it, went from 320MB to 768MB of RAM shortly ago, 512MB DIMMs work just fine, no strange behavior. Yes you can just shove in a larger drive, I am going to replace my 10GB with a 5400rpm 40GB from IBM shortly. Mine is a 400MHz model and I have run Mac OS X
