How is the case held to the PowerBook's frame?

My dad ordered a 512 chip of RAM from 1800memory.com Put it in used the computer for a little bit and then closed it up. He then went back later and when he opened it up it would…

The 12 in PB Al 1GHz is notoriously finicky about RAM. Multiple people have reported issues with 3rd party RAM. I myself went through incompatible units from TransIntly and OWC. Tr…

Both original and replacement sticks of OWC RAM purchased for a G4PB12 (revB) machine were incompatible with both a revA and revB machine. And now OWC told us that since this is …

I was well under 30 days (less than a week) and OWC still insisted on a restock fee for their incompatible RAM. They were once one of my favorite sellers to recommend, but after th…

Today, OWC's CEO reconsidered my situation and agreed to refund the restocking fee. After this good will gesture on their part, I feel once more able to recommend them as a supplie…

I am graduating from college in the coming months and I am looking to get either a 15" Alum PB (FW800) or the last model PM G4 (FW800) ASAP. I will be mainly running FCP 3 and even…

I would actually go so far as to say that the PowerBook can be as fast or faster in some circumstances, though not always. Like KraziKid said, the L3 cache can sometimes be helpfu…

I realize that some folks are sick of threads that ask "should I buy a PowerBook now or wait?"; nevertheless, if you'll bear with me, I believe I have a new tack on this topic that…

The G4 powerbook prices will drop like a rock when the G5's Powerbooks are introduced. When that is..who knows. The G4's are nice machines though...I've used several G4 powerbook…

There is at least one rumour site out there that keeps track of the release and refresh dates of Apple hardware, and so that gives a *very* approximate indication of how far it is …

I doubt that with the pretty strong sales of the current group of PowerBooks that a price drop will happen anytime soon. The only case would be if new models are introduced, then …
