Is there any way to set up a Powerbook to use the internal speakers at the same time as a set of USB speakers?

I'm thinking that Detour would do what you're looking for.

I don't think is what he needs I'm just guessing here.... I friend of mine has USB speakers and, to me, the sound is pretty low.... If you said you wanna internal speakers and USB …

Any opinions on the best hard drive - with the largest capacity I can swap for my stock 60Gig drive?

I've been happy with Hitachis. I think the largest capacity from any manufacturer currently is 80GB.

The fastest is the Hitachi (formerly IBM) Travelstar 7k60 which is a 7200rpm 60GB drive. The largest is the Hitachi 5k80 which is a 5200rpm 80GB drive. The 7200 rpm one is somethin…

Hmm. Thanks. I guess I should wait for larger drives. Can't see getting a new drive for only 20 more gigs. Thanks for the info....will keep an eye on Hitachi.

wow... what are you trying to do with 80G+ on a lap?? That's a ton of room if you ask me. That 80G did get some decent review when I last checked. H!

Why not just buy a FW/USB external hdd unit. I think the largest one out is either 250 or 300GB now.

I'm trying to decide between these two. My options are either a single or dual 1.8 G5 or 17" Powerbook. I am currently a Cube owner and want to upgrade to a new machine. I plan to…

Not sure what Cube you have but you will be looking at least at 2X increase in power + all the advantages of portability. I think you will be looking at a very attractive upgrade …

Hi, I think the first thing you must consider is what you need: extreme performance or excelent performance and portability. Because a dual 1.8 G5 will be faster in every aspect,…

I think the G5 will be more than quiet enough for you. But I love my PB17, it's an awesome machine and does everything you list. The DVD encoding and burning, and data storage, wi…

Since you're upgrading from a Cube, here's another thing to keep in mind when making your purchasing decision: How long do you plan on keeping the new computer? If it needs to las…

Desktop machines are always going to have a better upgrade path over a PB. Typically RAM and the HD are the main options for these all-in-one machines. But I have to say, the long…
