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 …

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.

Yeah, that seems to be how SDRAMs work. They just run at the lowest supported speed when multiple modules are detected.

Just to make sure it is clear: PC66, PC100 and PC133 are all SDRAM. PC133 (not yet used on Macs) and PC100 SDRAM are backwards-compatible. "Standard" SDRAM is 66MHz (and is occasio…

Thanks tooki. That's what I thought originally when I posted this discussion. Anyway, I don't have to worry about it anymore cause my Pismo arrived today and I'll just put my new …

Same thing happened to me, although it wasn't quite as drastic. I just got a cable modem about 2 weeks, and I had noticed that netscape seemed to be considerably faster at renderi…

WOW! For me IE 4.5 is *definetly* faster after I installed OE 5.0. It's *much* much faster. I had found IE4.5 to be virtually unusable with my cable modem, but now it's much fast…

IE 4.5 is much faster with Outlook Express 5.0. It has more features than Netscape, too. Now I get more features and faster HTML rendering. I am running Mac OS 9.0 on a Rev. A i…

Maybe it's just me - but my IE used to have a long pause after I would first start it up (I assumed it was because of my huge favorites list, and had gotten quite used to it). I j…

I noticed that IE 4.5 loads pages must faster under OS 9. I'll install OE 5.0 and see if that helps it as well... it might just be that 5.0 contains certain libraries that OS 9 ins…

Can anyone isolate what *exactly* is causing the speed up? I installed backwards -- OE 5 yesterday, and then IE 4.5 today. And it doesn't seem so quick. I'm thinking that IE 4.5…

I've seen this slowdown happen a couple of times with OE4.5 and IE 4.5 installed. What I would do is re-run the "Microsoft Internet First Run" application. This has fixed the probl…

If I am not mistaken, MS are developing [have developed??] a new rendering engine called 'Taslan'. Could it be implemented in OE5?, and also somehow in shared libaries that replac…

I use IE 4.5 on a Lombard/400 but have no intention to run OE 4.5/5.0. After reading this thread & other similar feedback around the Web, I acted on a hunch & ran only the …

There are only three components that I can see which MAY be the root cause for this speed-up. Microsoft Framework (Extension, 5.0) Microsoft Internet Library (Extension, 5.0) Micr…

IE seems to be bombing more now that I installed OE 5.0

As anthony (anthony@outshine.com) had said, when he first installed OE5, and then IE4.5, the speedup dissapeared. And as others have noticed, the following files have been upgrade…
