cpu upgrade for the PB Pismo
I was just wondering if they have a Cpu upgrade for the Powerbook G3 Pismo(firewire). Like a upgrade for the 400mhz to be a 500mhz(or more)G3. Also what did they max out in in the ram dept? I think it was 1 gig, but you couldnt do it before cuz their was no 512 chips avalible or something.

The machine will also take 1 GB RAM.

Well, on eBay, these machines go from $700-$1300. The hard drive may be a little small for you, but you can always upgrade. All in all, it's very competitive with the new 14" iBook. The PowerBook has all of the extra bells and whistles with the exception that it's clock speed is 200 MHz less. Considering that you'll save about $1000 off of the iBook, I think it's a very good deal. With the Pismo, you'll also get 2 firewire ports, the expansion bay, more video/sound out and in options, and a PC card slot.
If you are able to get an upgrade for $300 to a G4, then you're still paying a lot less than you would for a new iBook.
thanks
