The one thing that is likely to encourage Apple to speed bump the PowerBook line is if they introduce new or speed bumbed iBooks. Since the iBook SE runs at 366Mhz and current slow…

Here's why I think a speed bump in September is unlikely: What would they bump the speed to? Right now, it's at 400 and 500 MHz. What would the 500 go to? And if it goes higher,…

ok. there will be new powerbooks at seybold. more than likely new redesined Powerbook G4s. DON'T BUY NOW. and for the people who say that the Powerbook could not be higher in…

They might up the speed a bit before MWSF, but I doubt it. Even if they do, it's probably no big deal - at most the low-end Pismo will be 450. Really, is there any difference betwe…

Applenut1, First, multiprocessors in powerbooks would be very difficult because of heat, power, and space issues. You can't always compare desktop power to mobile power. Next, I…

Thanks for everybody's advice. My order for a Pismo 400 went in yesterday and I'm psyched, and can't wait to get it out of the box. Once again, thanks to everybody who replied, I a…

Good choice on picking up the 400mHz. $1999 is a GREAT deal on that laptop. Even IF new and faster versions of the Powerbook come out (likely) you have still gotten a great deal - …

What is the maximum hieght 2.5" hard drive i can use in the pismo? I see some 9.5mm, and some 12mm. I am worried the 12mm wont fit properly in my Pismo.

According to the PowerBook Developer Notes (http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/hardware/Developer_Notes/Macintosh_CPUs-G3/PowerBook/index.html), the hard drive can be up to 12.7mm…

i am getting a Powerbook G3 292Mhz after reading so many articles about the WallStreet to be the best powerbook ever built. and also the need to use old peripheals, faster bus spee…

eeks! this is a peripherals question... the question is adapter for mouse (the actual Mac is secondary to the question) adapter is for a peripheral, ergo...

Nope, there aren't any ADB to USB connectors available. YOu'll have to use a PC card USB to be able to use this mouse.

<geethree.com> makes one. I use it on a 8600 with an intellimouse. Works great. They are $25 at outpost.com.

OK I am a complete powerbook ignoramus...what do the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria look like,... I mean the "Lombard" the "Pismo" and the "Wall St". If you have pics to help the …

You can check out www.apple-history.com.... they have good info on ALL mac models.... great info! Here's a sample showing the Pismo.... http://www.apple-history.com/quickga...sfi…

They are all PowerBook's. After Apple releases them they never refer to them to their pre-release code name but message boards like these arte filled with references to them! Chro…

Once I got over the fact that my beautiful Powerbook was chipped I stopped worrying about it. Like wrinkles and grey hair, chips add character

I have a few small scratches on the lid of my TiBook. I would love to touch those up, but it seems this kit is just for the outside rim, not the "Titanium" part. Hmph.

Anyone here knows where I could get a list (pdf would be nice) what processor type exactly apple integrates in each mac? In particular I want to know what proccesor is in my Ti 500…

It's a 7410. Trust me. If you're running OS X, type hostinfo in the terminal.

Ti 400/500 == MPC7410 Ti 550/667 == MPC7451
