How's the battery usage? And how often is the HD being accessed for 
virtual memory, even with your 576MB RAM?
I ask because I'm running Panther on the same iBook, but at the moment 
chugging a long with only 96MB... And before I get myself a 512MB DIMM 
I'm interested in user experience. I also need a new battery, so is it 
worth the money to get extra RAM + new battery or should I save that 
money, sell the clamshell and buy a newer iBook although I would miss my 
clamshell a lot then?!
