I got a TiBook 667 (with grant $) yesterday. It was an upgrade from a Pismo 400. The thing is gorgeous, fast, crisp display, drool... I can finally scroll in OmniWeb like I shou…

hey everyone - I am thinking about getting the Tibook 550 - the prices certainly have dropped. I'm waiting for the new ibook to come out too.... cross your fingers it is a G4. w…

My old Ti550's fan comes on about the same as my current Ti667. Most of the time it's quiet, (no fan) but if you do something taxing like watch a QuickTime movie or DVD then it'll …

In a matter of words, yes. My 550 fan is on whenver I start doing something (like the previous post said, surfing the web). if I'm downloading anything and playing itunes at the …

Oh my god! I've been dreaming about getting a Titanium ... The fan in my Pismo has only once come on, and that was when I had been recording audio from the radio (through the aud…

every time my powerbook seeks for information , I can hear the cdromdrive speeding up. When it speeds up , the whole powerbook is waiting for it. I don't like it. It is irritating.…

Having to wait while dvd rom drive spins up is a pain, but its the price you pay for battery life. If the cd was constantly spinning at full whack it would drain the battery in no …

This is probably a dumb question, but can I plug in my Pismo RAM into my WallStreet until my Pismo arrives??

Anyone?? Anyone??

No. Wall Street RAM is too slow for today's PowerBooks. (Not to mention that it voids the warranty.)

That's not what I asked. Can i put my PISMO RAM into my WallStreet?

Anyone know?!??!

Pismo RAM is too fast for Wall Street PowerBooks. It will make everything unstable and void the warranty.

No!! You cannot do that! Pismo and Wallstreet use completely diferent ram standards. Pismo uses PC100 and Wallstreet uses SDRAM.

Excuse me...I know for a fact that you can plug pismo ram into a wallstreet. PC100 RAM is SDRAM. PC100 will slow down to 66MHz, just like 60ns ram will slow down to 70ns---same p…

I knew it, but I wanted confirmation. Thanks!!!

would it therefore follow that pismo ram will work in a lombard? seems a better deal as far asI can tell b/c cheaper and then maybe useable in a new computer in the future.

Yeah, that seems to be how SDRAMs work. They just run at the lowest supported speed when multiple modules are detected.

Just to make sure it is clear: PC66, PC100 and PC133 are all SDRAM. PC133 (not yet used on Macs) and PC100 SDRAM are backwards-compatible. "Standard" SDRAM is 66MHz (and is occasio…

Thanks tooki. That's what I thought originally when I posted this discussion. Anyway, I don't have to worry about it anymore cause my Pismo arrived today and I'll just put my new …
