wassup guys.... i'm looking to add RAM to my pismo 400. i only have 64 now. so, i hopped over to ramseeker.com.....but i have one questiom--is all the ram listed under pb2000 th…

I got a 256M upgrade from 1-800-memory and it was 2-2-2 and works perfectly in my Pismo. WhenI bought it 3 months ago they were way lower than anybody else at $189.

Avoid cheap RAM. It is often unreliable. This causes more crashes than anything else. I have had good experiences with Micron RAM. The price is low and the quality is incredible.

Hello, my powerbook 3400c battery only charges once in a while. Does apple have some sort of repair kit, and does anyone know who I can call there? thanks c

Apple sure doesn't have a repair kit, but you might reset the power manager. Disconnect all power - including the battery - from the computer and leave it there for ten minutes to …

Hey, I had the same problem with my PowerBook 500, It is most possible that the battery if fine, it's the powersupply that might be frayed or damaged... So use as ussual, and fiddl…

Go check this: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles...curypwbk.shtml Well, I like the ibook very much, but if they start applying that design to their powerbook range, ie round s…

Remember, this is speculation. It's a cinch that the new PBs will look different, but how different waits to be seen. I'm hoping that it looks more like the Cube than the iBook. G…

I hate the new trackpad on the iBooks! Please do not replace the solid-state kind... http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/frown.gif

Here's something to wonder: How is Apple going to appeal to customers in a megahertz-influenced world? The average consumer is going to think the portables are getting slower! ht…

I'd imagine the Mercury's will be 500 MHz. Don

I agree with Sean, I also hate the ibook trackpad. The button is way to hard and tricky to be functional. I guess a 500/600MHz range would be resonable, ie purchasable, even thou…

I do remember that joke, and some others. There isn't a computer maker around (and hardly a manufacturer, for that matter) with design as integrated and effective and Apple. Every…

Emailed Newer and asked them this: Quote: What are the chances for seeing a G4 upgrade for the PowerBook (Firewire)s sometime in the future - say, one year, or two? I …

Don: That's very encouraging news indeed. But the gentleman from Newer put it best when he said that an design that is made specifically for the G4 (i.e. Mercury) will be able to …

Which is why I set the time frame at a year or two. Hopefully, by that time, lower power/heat G4s will be out. As far as I can tell, the big difference between the Mercury and the …
