I don't do much CPU intensive stuff so I'm not sure I want something
that runs hotter (I hate the fan noise) and shortens the battery

Hello All
As you may have heard I'm drifting towards replacing my Lombard with a
Pismo.
There's a cheap ($150) Pismo on the swap list without a processor.
For that price you don't get processor, ram, hd, and optical drive but
RAM
BUT, before you
consider buying a Pismo, consider this: The most important thing that
either raises or lowers the value of a Pismo is ONE thing: RAM. I've
seen Pismo's with a gig of RAM and just the 400 G3 going on eBay for
over $500.00 on eBay. . . WITH bidders! But then, I've seen the exact
P.S. Actually, Daystar will also sell the whole G4 processor. You get
a G4/550 for $399, which is VERY expensive. The upgrade to your
existing processor costs $289. Before spending $399 on the whole
processor, though, plus RAM and HD and optical drive (1GB RAM +
40-80GB HD + Combo or Superdrive =
My fellow PowerBook-philes,
In a fit of unbridled upgrade-frenzy I am contemplating going all out on
the two Wallstreets I picked up on E-Bay recently. One alreayd has a
466 mhz G3 processor upgrade (maybe a Newer Tech version?) and the other
is a 300 mhz G3.
The question is:
Should I upgrade
My Fellow PowerBook-philes,
As an aside, I am looking at games for the GF to have as well.
Currently she plays Age of Mythology and American McGee's Alice.
Both of these have Mac versions -- the problem is both seem to have
video requirements higher than what the Wallstreet can provide.

I bought a G4/500 upgrade for my G3/250 WS almost
2 years ago. The only speed increase I've noticed is
when scanning or converting a CD to an MP3, i.e.
CPU-intensive apps.
The lack of a graphics chip upgrade path for a WS
is the biggest drawback to a speed increase, IMHO

I bought a processor upgrade from Wegener Media which
didn't work despite their absolute assurance. They
finally admitted that it wouldn't work after I sent my
Lombard to them. I got my Lombard back with a
processor that had half my original memmory chips.
They still have my memory and never

If you are patient, you might get lucky and get
a 300MHz processor for less than half your quoted price (like I did).
Thanks for your words of wisdom, I found the 300 MHz for $120!
