Ideally I would like a 1GHz G4 upgrade for my B&W G3, but I can't really afford that. So, the next best thing, a 500MHz G4...these go a lot cheaper than the 1GHz for obviou…
Tiny correction/clarification: The 3400c (and 2400) are electrically Cardbus compliant already. The only mod needed is in fact mechanical, to allow the differently-keyed Cardbus ca…
You can't use a wireless card on a Duo -- no slots. Great choice otherwise though, you can recell the battery for about $30.

Nobody is making G4's anymore (for years now), and I think the fastest of those upgrades are just overlocked G4 CPUs. You would be better off with a newer G4 that had atleast 133Mh…

I was on the MacSales site, looking at the G4 processor upgrades for an old AGP 400 Mhz Sawtooth, and I had some questions. It feels...expensive, but of course the computer would b…
What about a lombard? SCSI, USB, and a PC card slot. All in one and they should be going for very little now.

400MHz Pismo's are cheap too.
Do you NEED SC…

I've been hardpressed to find a 2400 anywhere, and I can say that the 2300c is dog slow on the web, even with 48mb of RAM.

One other point... Does the PB G4 need a PRAM battery to run? I found a replacement at OWC, but I want to be sure that it needs a good PRAM battery in order to start
Personally, if you're looking for a notebook that'll be useful and compatible with the modern world, I'd go for a PowerBook G3 or later. These machines can be had for under $200 no…

If you're really set on either the 2400 or Kanga, here's a quick breakdown (since I've got both):
Differences:
The 2400 has a 40MHz bus, the processor (180 or 240MHz) is on a rep…

A well-oiled windows machine will run pretty decently. I just bought Windows XP Pro for this machine I just built, just so I could have windows. Sure, I can run all my apps perfe…

Yes. In fact I'd say you just risked getting stoned, and I don't mean like a hippy. I have Windows NT4 for the Powe…
If things fall through with the 1400, I'll consider it. Seems like there are a ton of resources out there for the 1400, but to my understanding, most of them apply to the 2400 as w…
