So I have an old PowerBook G3 Pismo, but I don't know the exact specs of it, as it is not at my current house where I am living. I was wondering if I could fix it up, like some other board members, and install 10.4 Tiger on it. Or, if I could just use the Pismo as a case and replace the logic board, RAM, processor, etc. Is that even possible? I don't know much about laptops, only PCs.
Any comments would be great!
Full Version: Pimp my Pismo
What's wrong with it? Is it still working? I would say, check how much RAM it has, possible upgrade it, and install Tiger or Panther.

I love how they dissed Intel in the one video on that german blog, and now all Mac's use Intel's. Brilliant.
You can run Tiger off of it without any upgrades. There is a G4 processor you can drop in there also to put it at a G4 500 MHz processor. With the RAM maxed out, you'll have a nice Tiger laptop.
