Re: so. . where's the beef?

2004-01-22 Thread Marc
I got this reply from a salesguy at Powerlogix when I inquired about 
the G3/900 upgrade for a Pismo:

Within a few weeks (we hope), we should be shipping our new G3/1Ghz 
(wih 1mb
cache at 1Ghz). Of course, this is IF IBM does not delay shipping 
(again).

Would this be the 750FX?

750GX, G3 processor which is supposed to replace the 750FX G3 chip, 
running at speeds of 1.1ghz and above,  including a 1mb L2 cache. . 
.has anyone heard the lates on this? Can anyone direct me to an 
updated link?

Re: RAM needed for OS X on Lombard

2004-01-22 Thread Dave Bonhoff
I'm running 256 in both slots right now, but I can't recommend it for 
Panther.  The installer refused to complete with this configuration.  
No amount of zapping pram, open firmware resets, processor card 
manipulation, RAM swapping, drive reformatting, etc would work.  I was 
forced to remove the top DIMM to get Panther installed.  This is brand 
name RAM (Kingston) that was fine in Jaguar.

After running for about a week, I decided to re-install the top DIMM.  
Since then, I've been experiencing random crashes where the screen will 
dissolve from the center out, or where it turns to a dark grey grid, or 
a lovely multicoloured stripped pattern, or...

I have read in various places that 384MB is now the limit for Lombards 
running Panther.  It appears now that I'm going to have to buy a 128MB 
DIMM and give my wife the 256 for her Lombard so she can run 512MB in 
Jaguar (after all my fun with Panther, she has no desire to try XPF and 
Panther).  And then there is the video driver support...

Lombards appear to be the bastard child for Panther.  Be careful!

Re: G3/900 for Pismo?

2004-01-22 Thread Jeff Drummond
Marc [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

I'm considering this upgrade, can some recommend this(or advise against 
it). I don't really need the Altivec(I think) and I've already maxed 
out the memory and gotten a new disk. Are there any other upgrades I 
sould look at?

I love my Pismo too much to trade her in if I don't really have to.

Any advice is welcome.

As a fellow Pismo owner, I'm taking a wait-and-see approach--not because
I think the G3/900 isn't a good upgrade, but because I think there may
be an even better one in the works.

I've heard that PowerLogix could be offering an even faster upgrade
soon, using the 750GX processor instead of the 750FX.  The 750GX runs
up to 1.1GHz plus it has a 1MB on-chip L2 cache (as opposed to the
512kB cache on the 750FX).  The only potential downside is that the
750GX has a slightly higher power consumption (meaning more heat), so
it might not happen.

So, if you don't need the upgrade right away you might want to wait.

Norton Utilities (was Re: Panther won't boot - shell )

2004-01-22 Thread James Rohde
On 1/22/04 1:22 PM, gianfranco wrote:

My question to the list now is (perhaps I should have changed the
subject?):
(Changed it for you/us)...

I've read many bad accounts about Norton Utilities, is it really that bad?
I have used regularly the antivirus and defrag on my powerbook for over a
year now and occasionally the doctor and this is really the first time it
messes up (it was Utilities 6.0.3 for OS 9) and it messed up a freshely
set-up partition with no fancy installs on it (FileSaver started already
to report problems even before I could switch it off as I do usually right
after a fresh install). I'd like to hear some opinions and what are the
possible alternative for disc maintenance and repair?
Part of the difference is that DiskWarrior repairs the directory entries 
and creates a new directory in a new location. Norton works (IIRC) 
directly on the directory (so if it crashes in mid-corrections, you're 
out of luck, for example). 

My problem with Norton was it would repeatedly find problems, and also 
Filesaver kept giving me conflicts with other extensions under MacOS 9.x. 
I believe others have reported on this list problems with having 
'repaired' a drive, but DiskWarrior still finds problems. 

Others can chime in who have direct experience (rather than my 
secondhand) with Disk Doctor and other Norton Utilities programs.

Re: G3/900 for Pismo?

2004-01-22 Thread Jason Long
I've not noticed any problems with excess heat or even reduced battery life 
with my upgraded Pismo, but then I generally use an external keyboard and 
monitor with my Pismo perched up on top of my dual HD case so its monitor is 
almost level with the external monitor. This exposes most of the bottom of 
the Pismo which allows it to dissipate heat most efficiently. I think I've 
only had the fun come on occasionally when playing DVDs in this 
configuration.
OTOH, when I've used the Pismo in bed, I thought I might well set my 
bedspread on fire as it got exceedingly hot, even with the fan running 
constantly! It seems to be all about the amount of air available to shed 
heat with.

Ram upgrade enquiry on the Pismo

2004-01-22 Thread simon goslin
Howdy!

I currently have 128mb of ram installed on my Pismo and it's suffering 
slightly with multiple applications running in OSX 10.2.8.

According to the manual the max limit is 512mb but I've heard that some of 
you out there have increased this to 1Gb.  If so, which chips did you use 
and did you have any problems arising as a result of this, and what were 
they?

If I upgraded to 512mb should I buy 2x256mb chips or 1x512mb?  Does it make 
any difference performance wise?

Finally if anyone has some spare pc100 chips they no longer require please 
drop me a line!

Cheers,

Simon

 Howdy!
 
 I currently have 128mb of ram installed on my Pismo and it's suffering
 slightly with multiple applications running in OSX 10.2.8.
 
 According to the manual the max limit is 512mb but I've heard that some of
 you out there have increased this to 1Gb.  If so, which chips did you use
 and did you have any problems arising as a result of this, and what were
 they?
 
 If I upgraded to 512mb should I buy 2x256mb chips or 1x512mb?  Does it make
 any difference performance wise?
