Yep, now that you mention it... I remember getting a few different speeds as I added sticks to a Celeron box I put together years ago.  Part of my buying decisions when adding RAM later were based on potentially moving the memory to a newer machine with a faster bus.  Unlike processors with their multipliers, seems most any speed fast will work in something slower if the pins fit, etc.

I did check at TransIntl quickly, and they certainly seem to sell the same RAM for each iceBook now.  Just wonder what I bought when I added RAM to this iBook.  Between keeping my Airport card and RAM (though "free RAM" is all over these days), I'd like to talk myself into the $1000 iBook instead of the $1600 G4, but I'm not doing very well!

Thanks for the info.
