I've got 1 gig in a Pismo 500. It makes all the difference. It's the most important upgrade you can make. My wife's iBook only takes 320mb and I wish it would take more. PeteWK

Going from 256 to 512 or 768 will yield a significant gain in performance, but going on from 768 to 1gb doesn't give much gain. At least, that has been my experience.

Ram is always worth the price. Everything will become much more smoother.

You can't afford not to get more RAM.

I upgraded to 640 at the same time that i upgraded to 10.1 so I wasn't able to what the difference was. However I also replaced the hard drive with a larger (but I think smaller) …

How'd you get into Princeton with that kind of grammar? You're very right, though. Uprading from 128 megabytes to 192 megabytes allows the operating system 50% more breathing ro…

When I first got my Pismo 500 it had 256Mb and a 12Mb hardisk. After installing OSX beta it used to thrash the disk and ran nearly full all the time. OSX was unusable. Now I have …

There is a constant very low rumbling sound from my PB G4's HD - as though the HD is constantly being accessed. Very quiet - but noticeable all the time. It's not just ordinary HD…

ohhh!! ... be careful with that problem .. i read about this in another forum .. i think it because you use an old palm desktop beta on your ti-book .. i had that problem too get…

Thanks but unfortunately I don't have any palm software installed. It really sounds pretty innocent but I am nevertheless curious what it is, as it is constant all the time....low …

Yep I saw it again it was an AD for Smith Barney. All silver back blue ice Apple in middle. It looks almost like an iBook only a little bigger and not as rounded.

Could it be? PB G4 for Seybold?! Here's hoping.... Thanks for mentioning the sighting, Elderloc.

I really don't think there will be a Power Book G4 at Seybold. I think if it hits it will be mid september. Why else would they cancel the Keynote broadcast?? We know Steve all to…

I don't care what the rumours say, or the hearsay, or the bloody typos at some of the sites. You can't put a G4 in a PowerBook yet! Have you felt the Pismos? They get damn hot - he…
