[iBook] memory question

[Angus Wallace]

I've not done this myself, but have heard you must be careful about 
exactly what RAM you buy. Apparently MacOSX is very fussy when it comes 
to RAM.

You shouldn't have any trouble getting a much better deal than buying 
the RAM from Apple, tho. I think there are some online companies that 
sell 1gb RAM chips as 'ibook compatible' - though I don't know about 
their reliability.

HTH,
