[P1] Clamshell Memory

[Vacwipers at aol.com]

Hi There,

I was told that the 512mb dimm of the correct size/density didn't exist at 
the time of the rev A iBooks, so they are listed as max 288 - 32 built in+ a 
256 (Tang/ Blue 300s) or 320 - 64 built in + a 256 for the 366 (graphite) 
version, but they will see the 512s made now. I'm guessing that you are 
correct that you need the firmware update. I picked up a used 366 graphite, 
and have ordered a 512 Dimm for it, but haven't got it yet.
