what is googlegear? i just got a bismo 500 w/12 gb hd. i received today
a 512 chip from owc so i will be up to 640, but still need to deal with
the hd. i had ordered the 4200 40gb travelstar from dell- don't ask,
they had an insane price - but instead received a module fro one of
ther computers. it has been almost a week trying to get somebody to
correct this with no luck so i am thinking on contacting visa for a
credit and returning it to them.

I had a similarly configured Pismo and did all 3 upgrades. Here's my
thoughts on each:

1) G4 upgrade. I was planning on going Powerlogix, mainly because it

$279 for Austin TX, residents. Any reason to prefer Newer?
I did the Powerlogix upgrade. When I first got it back, it crashed a
lot, so (after a week of testing it) I sent it back to Powerlogix. It
turned out to be a bad G4 chip. Since getting it back, it's been
running great, and noticeably faster under OSX.
2) Ram upgrade. I was planning on getting 1 new 512 MB stick from
OWC.
Any
reasons to consider the much more expensive "low power" RAM?
I got the 512 chip from OWC (not the low power one) and it's been
fine.
I have 1GB in the Pismo now.
3) CD upgrade. Looking at the IBM 40 GB Travelstar 5400/8 MB cache.
Any
thoughts on what may be a better choice?
I got this drive (for $155 from googlegear) and love it. It's
noticeably faster than the 6GB OEM drive it replaced.
Good luck with the upgrades!
