Congratulations !!

I now have 2.5 working Pismos running Tiger, but the 2 fully functioning machines have 1GB RAM which makes a huge difference.

Upgrading to G4 makes another difference; the G4 550 boots in just over 40 seconds, while the G3 500 one takes well over a minute.

I'm also now using a 7200 rpm 100GB Travelstar which has boosted the speed up to very nearly 40mb/sec - I found the 32GB SSD I bought to be slower and less efficient and so plonked it into the G3 Pismo.

It would be interesting to find out if you can transplant a higher memory video chip in from another card.

Cheers :)

Hugh
