The Pismo should do 1GB RAM (512mb x 2) so RAM density should not be a problem (unlike the Wallstreet).
It is funny sometimes what you expect to recieve in a listing and what actually shows up. I am a member of the Thinkpad forum (forum.thinkpad.com) were a member was ditching a few machines for parts/repairs just for shipping else they get recycled. His listing stated no HD's, might be dead, etc but I wanted an A22M he had so I snagged it. The unit arrived in very good shape other then a keyboard that needed major cleaning. It had a speedy 40GB HD installed (empty), 2 x 256MB PC100 (hard to find low density SODIMM), had 3 OEM A20M restore CDs for NT4/Win2k/Win98, original power brick, and the screen was the better 15" 1400x1050 TFT with no flaws. Not bad for $11 shipping and it works just fine and looks almost new when cleaned up. I did have to replace the main battery as it will not charge and I replaced the keyboard from a parts machine (too lazy to clean the original) but otherwise it was all good (CMOS battery was still good). Now you can compre this to what you find on ebay being in "good condition" and when you get it it looks like a truck ran over it and will not boot.
Sometimes you get lucky.
