I tried burning to a DVD-RW disc for the first time today on my 12" revB PB with Superdrive. I burned a small (100mb) folder to the disc with no problem, but I can't rewrite to th…

The super drive in the laptops does not support DVD-RW discs, only DVD-R.

Can you record and erase using 3rd party SW such as Toast with PB?

Thanks RDiT. While I genuinely appreciate the advice, I'm not so desperate to use -RW discs to try it, but I took a look at that site anyway and read the following in the FAQ: Q:…

No, he wasn't. My 1GHz 12" works perfectly with DVD-R/Ws. It might be a matter of bad media or a dodgy drive, but it should work. -R/W will only burn at 1x, though, not the 2x you'…

Hmm. So it was probably the cheap disc I used. Unless dropping my powerbook the other day damaged my drive in some way? But why would that affect only the DVD-RW function and no…

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…

Hello. If you're going to be mainly editing in your room, then frankly, there is little reason to get a PowerBook. While they are great machines, there really is a definate perfor…

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…

There's a guy who's interested in trading his 12" Albook (2 months old) for my 15" Tibook (14 months old). Both have 1Ghz processors and superdrives. I have 1gig RAM, he has 768. …

Never mind - I found a thread that helps me answer the question. -Jason

so, with my new powerbook, I wanted to buy some bluetooth headphones. I did search the forums, but all the threads were somewhat old. so, now I ask again, are there some good "Hi-F…
