Aha, that's good to know. Guess it's not like my old iBook, where one chip
was "built in." So right now I've invested about $60 in upgrading one of the
250's to 512. I guess it'll cost me another $60 to do it again. Since I
dislike the thought of having to buy two 512 chips just get an extra 256
from each, I may wait since I've only had the PB for a few weeks, and see
how well it does on 768.
