After about 15 minutes of prep/soldering, I bumped up my Pismo to 500Mhz from 400Mhz.
so the setup is:
PowerBook G3 500Mhz/1MB L2
100Mhz FSB
768MB RAM (256MB lower slot, 512MB upper)
80GB 7200RPM HDD, DVD/CD-RW Slot-load optical, brand new 6500Mah battery, original G3 Pismo powerbook power adapter (black brick). 14" LCD. ATI Rage 128M 8MB AGP 2x Graphics card
Airport, 10/100 Fast Ethernet, 2x FW400 ports, 2x USB 1.1 ports, USB 2.0 PC Card, Belkin 802.11b/g PC Card (in case I need G access). Sound in/out, 56Kbps Modem
It's actually quite a bit quicker than the 400Mhz. Windows are slightly more responsive under OS X, typing keeps up now in web browsers, and it loads pages quicker. Not bad...
