Hi Felix,
Thanks for your response on my pismo, I do believe
there is a graphics card update for the pismo, however it is a PCMCIA
card slot in version. I currently us my one and only card slot for a
802.11n card as after my powerbook was made as fast as it could be I
went to work on the network, so I went 802.11n with my powermac too
and boy what a difference. I'd recommend it to anyone. You can get
the graphics card upgrade from here,

Hope this helps.
