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 …

I have the same exact model and have the same exact symptom, I've posted here before got the "Palm beta" response too... I don't know how many people have this problem... but if it…

Just before the new Snow Imac came out there was a sighting of one in the disney movie the kid. Earlier today I was watching CNN and a commerical came on. It was a commerical for …

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…

Fer God sakes, don't base your buying decisions on rumors and maybes - I wanted to buy a PowerBook for over a year, and, while it was money that made me wait that long, I remember …

There's a bit of a frenzy going on over at Apple Insider...here's the URL: http://forum.appleinsider.com/ubb/Fo...ML/005400.html

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…

Does anyone have any inside information about even the REMOTE possibility of a MAXpower or other processor upgrade for older non-bronze powerbooks? I know, I must be dreaming, but…

Dr.C, I upgraded my 233 Wallstreet G3 to a 250 G3 with a standard Apple processor daughtercard, available every now and then from www.powerbookguy.com . Because Apple put the Ma…

In another thread, I asked about Powerbook G3 must haves. I mentioned that I wanted to add a DVD-ROM drive to my 333mHz Powerbook. (I could not afford a 400mHz version yet I want…

To clarify, what I meant was that there is no way to use an Apple DVD-ROM drive with a PowerBook unless the PowerBook came with that DVD-ROM drive (because of the decoder kit). VS…

OK, I think I am getting with the program. Had I ordered my 333mHz Lombard from Apple and had the DVD-ROM drive upgrade installed, it would have been $300 for the DVD-ROM drive an…

Hi, i already have just bought the 333 lombard, and I am quite happy with it. (that's an understatement) . As far as I can see the lombard has all the options for dvd. interfaces t…

Go to Outpost.com and the VST DVD upgrade kit is $389 on pre-order. Still fairly pricey, but just barely low enough where it was worth it for me. I'll know in a couple of weeks h…

The best way to get DVD on a Lombard PowerBook 333 is to order it WHEN you buy your computer (you can only add this on when you order through the Apple Store) Apple basically gives…

There's an interesting report on www.pbzone.com about VST's DVD module being exactly the same as Apple's.

yeah, same module as Apple's different type of decoder, the same one used in the wallstreet kits. Many still feel the decoder built into the lombard is much, much better than the P…

That's right, and this is one of the "keys" to trouble free DVD viewing. (No audio/video sync problems). A lot of my friends with G4's have this problem and it seems that the mai…

Nope, you must get the 'DVD Option' when you order your Lombard 333, or else you can buy the VST Kit with the PC Card decoder.

I can't comment on the VST drive for Lombards but if the decoder card that the VST drive uses is the same as the Wallstreets, then it's the same thing... Lombard's are noticeably b…
