Mercury: AppleInsider article — #4
Here's something to wonder:
How is Apple going to appeal to customers in a megahertz-influenced world? The average consumer is going to think the portables are getting slower! ht…

I agree with Sean, I also hate the ibook trackpad. The button is way to hard and tricky to be functional.
I guess a 500/600MHz range would be resonable, ie purchasable, even thou…

I do remember that joke, and some others.
There isn't a computer maker around (and hardly a manufacturer, for that matter) with design as integrated and effective and Apple. Every…

Emailed Newer and asked them this:

What are the chances for seeing a G4 upgrade for the PowerBook (Firewire)s sometime in the future - say, one year, or two? I …

Don: That's very encouraging news indeed.
But the gentleman from Newer put it best when he said that an design that is made specifically for the G4 (i.e. Mercury) will be able to …
G4 for Pismos — #3
Which is why I set the time frame at a year or two. Hopefully, by that time, lower power/heat G4s will be out. As far as I can tell, the big difference between the Mercury and the …

I would say that everything depends on the charm of the new comer, ie mercury. After all, I like to have a new machine every season and people asking me "Oh, is this the new one?..…

Upgrading the processor is, as we have seen, relatively easy. Upgrading the VRAM is some ver…
G4 for Pismos — #6
What I want is a 3D card that you can add to a notebook via PCMCIA. It's fast enough, right?
The only problem is getting the signal from the PCMCIA slot to the display without cau…

Both Newer and Magma make PCI expansion chassis which give the PowerBook the ability to add video cards, SCSI, etc. I don't know how the performance is with video, but it might be …

Upgrades for older PB G3 Wallstreet?? — #1
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…
Upgrades for older PB G3 Wallstreet?? — #2
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…
DVD-ROM Kit for Lomabard 333mHz? — #1
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…
DVD-ROM Kit for Lomabard 333mHz? — #2
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…
DVD-ROM Kit for Lomabard 333mHz? — #3
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) .

DVD-ROM Kit for Lomabard 333mHz? — #5
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…
DVD-ROM Kit for Lomabard 333mHz? — #6
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…
