Can I use a 256 MB RAM from a Lombard in the Prismo? An Apple store guy said yes but another website said no. Does anyone know? Thanks

"dmcnickle", Did you purchase the RAM from The Apple Store? If you did, it is likely that you cannot place the "Lombard/101" RAM into the "Pismo", because "Lombard" does not requi…

i believe the answer is no, as i read recently at macosrumors. it has something to do with the bus speed bump from 66 to 100: the old memory is just too slow to deal with those w…

I posted this several times on Apple's site...but they keep removing it before anyone can read it. It is not much, simply that my network card in my 1999 Powerbook G3 fried while c…

Did you always connect it to the same ethernet port (on the hub, that is)? It is possible that one port on the hub has somehow shorted and is sending dangerous electricity to the P…

I thought that, too. The port I used is also used on a 333Mhz Powerbook, and two 1400cs Powerbooks. We sometimes use that port to hook up and additional printer. No problems in ove…

How is it? I think the savings from the 800 model is worth getting the 667, and I doubt the speed is all that noticeable.... Please post thoughts. Thanks!

I very much agree with you, and it has been said that the new PB 667Mhz is 60% faster then the old 667Mhz, it seems to also run cooler, they are both great machines! Congrats Appl…

Must agree with previous post. It'll still be awhile before I buy, but the shop that I work for has one on display and I played around for a bit on it throughout today. The speed…

There is a $700 price difference between the two; is it really worth it? My mind is settling more toward the 667, especially since I can transfer my 48 gig 5400 RPM hard drive from…

Is there some reason you can't install the 48 gig drive into the 800? I was considering ordering a custom 800 w/ the 30 gig drive, swapping it and the 48 in my Ti 500, and selling…

I ordered the 667 with a 40 gig drive and airport card last tuesday. It shipped friday, so I should get it monday or tuesday. With a developer's discount, it would have been an e…

I am getting a "demo model" (never been opened though!) 667 for $1849 I cannot wait, it's going to run circles around my TiBook 500

i know i'm not the brightest guy in the whole world.. but how can a demo model be un-opened? doesn't that totally go against the concept of it being a demo..

seanyepez -- I think you mean "No, the drive fits perfectly." Confused me for a minute. I'm not sure what urrl5201 mean by that comment, but I am leaning toward the 800. I have a…

I wish I could get a new TiBook, but I still have to finish paying my 550 off.... lol Plus, I need more RAM. I was wondering, could one of you guys who is getting a new PB post s…

I think the 667 model is the better value for me. The price jump to the 800 is just too much, especially since I already have an AirPort card that will come out of my iBook when I…

I'm also going to be buying a new PowerBook soon to replace my Pismo 400... haven't decided yet on the 667 or 800. I can't wait to see some benchmarks to see exactly what kind of g…

xtro, If I were you, I'd go for the 800. I think you'll appreciate the extra speed over time.
