Re: Powerbook 1400 shows G3 33 Mhz in system profiler?

I have a Vimage 233MHz processor installed in my Powerbook 1400. The Apple System Profiler will often read it accurately, but many times it will report it as 33MHz. Vimage supplied a reader which always accurately reports CPU type, CPU clock, BUS clock, Backside cache size, and Backside cache

Howdy, My 1400 is still stalling out for periods of 30 seconds to a minute at a time. It's always been a little pokey under OS 8.6, but it never did this before about a couple of months ago. Happens mostly while it is online, but sometimes even when offline, like in ClarisWorks. I've defragged as

3400c Hard drive sources and installation

I've recently acquired a spiffy 3400c (200mhz, 2 GB HD, OS 9.1), and am very pleased with it. I'd like to upgrade the hard drive to something a little bigger (5 - 10GB) and a little zippier. Can you recommend any sources for inexpensive hard drives? And, how difficult is the the physical HD

The short answer: no.. Long answer: Wallstreets require PC-66 SODIMM's... SOME, and I mean a few will actually run PC100. But they will generally a. run hot, and b. occasionally do the random lockup or crash.. Better off to get the RAM you need than try to skimp by on something close

Long answer: Wallstreets require PC-66 SODIMM's... There's a lot of FUD out there about the different RAM speeds (PC66, PC100, and PC133). PC100 is backwards compatible with PC66. PC133 is backwards compatible with PC100 and PC66. If it's got the faster notation, it will work with a slower

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. The main issue is NOT that PC100 won't 'down-clock' to PC66.. it will do that just fine. PC133 will down-clock as well.. The issue is actually that PC100 PC133 are NEARLY ALWAYS double-density RAM, which a Wallstreet may (or may not) read properly. The Wallstreet
