When my old Pismo G3 20Gb filled up I replaced it with a 60Gb Travelstar and bought a transparent Oxford bridge case for it. A year later, I upgraded the Pismo to a 12"PB Rev A wit…

I put mine in an OWC portable FireWire enclosure, put OS X and OS 9 on it and use it as an emergency utility boot drive. tooki

well, if someone wants to sell the old small drive for cheap, i'm looking!

Ok, this is kind of embarassing, but I had my computer, in my backback with a computer sleeve, fall off of a 4 foot high table, onto the floor. I thought it got through the episod…

Lately, something seems slow about my pismo. On SNES9X it gets lower performance than my rev. C iMac, and video files, .avi files in particular have had horrible performance, dropp…

I run a 400 pismo with 320mb RAM and have never felt that my system suffered from a lack of RAM. I can't speak to the RAM requirements of SNES emulation, but my initial thoughts ar…

Disk Warrior can also help with speed problems associated with suboptimal directories. This can happen even with a half empty HD -- scattered files really hurt the OS. I know with…

Trade up.

It may be too early in the lifetime of the G5 to answer this question, but I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not it's possible to upgrade a G5 1.6 to one of the higher spee…

At this point, I think it's too early to tell what may happen. I don't think I've come across any detailed discussion about if there will ever be processor upgrades for the G5 mode…

I can tell you that there is no way to add a second processor to the 1.6GHz model. The connectors and glue circuits are missing from the motherboard.

Apple seems to have killed the upgrade market. Upgraded computers kill new sales and Apple is all about new sales.

Every new Apple design gives way to the "no upgrade" sadists. About 18 months later, an upgrade comes out using some clever-but-semi-obvious method to get one working. Remember t…

I would imagine that eventually there willl be processor upgrades for the G5. Thing is at the moment they are so new, it will be a while before we will see any. Probably from power…

Thank you for all the comments and suggestions. I think I *will* probably get a dual G5 since it does seem to have at least more upgrade potential than the single processor G5.
