my Ti500 drive (travelstar 30gt) is pretty loud now also. i just started shopping around for a replacement drive. the IBM GN and GH series both have the fluid dynamic stuff and o…

Most hard drives I've used have gradually gotten louder with time, except for the fluid-bearing IBM Travelstars. I've had a 48GB installed since late last summer, and it's still p…

My old Ti550's fan comes on about the same as my current Ti667. Most of the time it's quiet, (no fan) but if you do something taxing like watch a QuickTime movie or DVD then it'll …

In a matter of words, yes. My 550 fan is on whenver I start doing something (like the previous post said, surfing the web). if I'm downloading anything and playing itunes at the …

Oh my god! I've been dreaming about getting a Titanium ... The fan in my Pismo has only once come on, and that was when I had been recording audio from the radio (through the aud…

If you get Q3 of RTCW would you please be able to post some benchmarks, with the exact configuration you are using... I want to see how this new Radeon 7500 holds up... Thanks

From what I hear about cable modems, they do not have static IP numbers. They have dynamic IP numbers. This might be what is causeing a problem. The change in IP numbers might b…

Anyone?? Anyone??

No. Wall Street RAM is too slow for today's PowerBooks. (Not to mention that it voids the warranty.)

That's not what I asked. Can i put my PISMO RAM into my WallStreet?

Anyone know?!??!

Pismo RAM is too fast for Wall Street PowerBooks. It will make everything unstable and void the warranty.

No!! You cannot do that! Pismo and Wallstreet use completely diferent ram standards. Pismo uses PC100 and Wallstreet uses SDRAM.

Excuse me...I know for a fact that you can plug pismo ram into a wallstreet. PC100 RAM is SDRAM. PC100 will slow down to 66MHz, just like 60ns ram will slow down to 70ns---same p…

I knew it, but I wanted confirmation. Thanks!!!

would it therefore follow that pismo ram will work in a lombard? seems a better deal as far asI can tell b/c cheaper and then maybe useable in a new computer in the future.
