Battery draining memory sticks.

[Small Moose Ltd]

I never knew about the different types of memory modules available for our
iBooks until one of the other posters here mentioned it. I'm referring to
the normal memory modules, and the low power memory modules.

When I got my Clamshell in August 2001, I ordered a 256Mb module from
Crucial.com and that was that. Everything's been fine with it. I was not
aware that the more ram you put into your iBook, the more of a drain it is
on the battery. 

I take it that it must be a significant drain for the manufacturers to
consider making special 'low power' memory modules. Has anyone here had
experience with both types of module? And are the 'low power' one's that
much more expensive than the normal DIMMS we use?

Its not like I'm going to rush out a purchase a 512Mb low power module at
the response to this question, but I did find it interesting when it was
mentioned, and maybe it might help others when it comes to purchasing more
ram in the future.
