hey everyone - I am thinking about getting the Tibook 550 - the prices certainly have dropped. I'm waiting for the new ibook to come out too.... cross your fingers it is a G4. w…

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…

Since I just got a new Tibook 800, and because I am not quite ready to start a new FCP project yet, I thought I can get a new game to test the GFX performance of the new machine. N…

Quake 3 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein are popular choices for both playing and performance testing.

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

Hi All, I have my PB 500 connected directly to my cable modem, using DHCP mode in the TCP/IP settings. Under conditions which I cannot replicate, but which happens a number of ti…

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…

Yes, Macs can handle Dynamic IP Addresses. That is how Road Runner is set up. In the TC/IP control panel, my settings are connect via Ethernet, configure using DHCP server. Road Ru…

Crow, cable modems can either use DHCP or statics IP addresses - it's all how the server-side is setup. My Earthlink/Charter cable modem uses Static IP. Static IP is more reliable…

I live in LA. I just got a cable modem. I just got Airport. Seperately they are great bits of technology but... I can't get the Airport to work with the cable modem. Apple says it …

every time my powerbook seeks for information , I can hear the cdromdrive speeding up. When it speeds up , the whole powerbook is waiting for it. I don't like it. It is irritating.…

Having to wait while dvd rom drive spins up is a pain, but its the price you pay for battery life. If the cd was constantly spinning at full whack it would drain the battery in no …

This is probably a dumb question, but can I plug in my Pismo RAM into my WallStreet until my Pismo arrives??

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.
