Did you upgrade your itunes and ipod software on the ibook? If not, do 
that first.

Your ibook should have come with a cd to install some version of OS X. 
Look for that before you buy. If it is less than 10.2, I suggest you 
wait and buy Panther when it is released.

If you don't have a CD with X as part of your packaged cds, just wait 
for Panther and upgrade all at once. It will save you $130 since you 
would probably want to upgrade to Panther anyway.

If none of these options work for you and you want to buy Jag now, 
check MacResQ, OWC, MegaMacs for discounted copies but be sure to 
either email or call to verify you are getting the correct package 
since they have various flavors of upgrade paths.
