Several people have asked me about the dynamic memory protection / allocation software.
I've read it works very well with Ram Doubler.
Here is a link.

Thanks for the URI! Maybe this will help out my Duos.
The compact flash solution wouldn't have a direct impact on the system memory, and such wasn't my intention. It would be used as VM, using RAM Doubler, to free up some hard drive usage. Some folks boot from Compact Flash, but, I don't see myself going that far with it. Given the average speed of laptop hard drives, I think using CF for VM can only help. I would think freeing up hard drive cycles alone would help things along? If someone has tested such a setup to disprove it, feel free to let me know.
If the CF I/O is faster than the internal HD bus, then this would be advantageous. Does anyone have any solid numbers on this?
I could always buy a faster hard drive, but the 5400 and 7200 RPM laptop drives are still a tad pricey, especially considering I am also beefing up my G4 with faster SCSI drives, and, as it is my primary workstation, it needs the money more than the 2400. When 5400rpm drives drop in price, I'll pick one up.
Not to mention the extra heat produced by faster spinning drives.

I'd like to hear from folks who have actually run X on a 2400, to lend some first-hand experience.
And Linux. I'm very interested as to what's available and what works well.
I have tossed around (in my head) the idea of running Linux on my PB's but I don't think MKLinux will cut it for me. I plan on upgrading to a 3400c and I might first start with a 2400c (given all the cool add-ons that can be found although rarely these days). Which ever it is, I plan on loading Linux for the speed and capabilities that will be at my finger tips.
As per the keyboard, I'd love to get my hands on one. Blue, tho I think Pink would garner lots of attention, especially from the ladies ;-)
again, I've seen many MANY colors on the various Japanese mod sites. Orange would be kinda' cool, tho I doubt I'd find one in the states.
Anyone have an extra?
Sure, I can send you some oranges! ;)
I think there is a ban on cross border fruit shipments via the mail though. :D
