[PB] adding ram

[Jim Freeman]

I guess that's what I'll have to do. My screwdriver is a phillips and 
is marked 00 on the side. It works great for the little screws in my 
Pismo. I remember having trouble with screws in the first dual USB 
iBooks, but I think my same screwdriver worked for them as well. People 
on one discussion list at the time said it was some Taiwanese standard 
of screws. I guess there are different kinds of 00.

The performance of my new PB doesn't impress me, so I'm hoping the 
extra 512 of ram will help.
