This doesn't make any sense unless someone has changed the  
configuration. Your generation of Powerbook shipped with 256 (only  
lower (bottom of computer) slot filled) or 512 MB (lower and upper  
(under keyboard) slot filled.) (1 GB is the documented max.)

AppleMenu->About This Mac->More Info... (Button in new window)- 
 >Hardware (Contents list)->Disc Burning (or ATA)

Model M8858LL/A came with a combo drive (DVD/CD-RW)
Model M8859LL/A came with a super drive (DVD-R/CD-RW)

All of which could have been found with a few minutes of searching on  
your own.
