[P1] iBook/500 512MB Chip Wanted

[Tom288 at aol.com]

Hi Folks,

I am taking the plunge and have decided to upgrade my 500Mhz iBook to the 
full 640MB of RAM.  I currently have 256MB.  Thus, I am looking for a 512MB 
chip.  Any recommendations for high value/competitive cost vendors?  My local 
Apple dealer can get one for $129, but I thought they were going for under a 
$100 these days?

Also, I would like to share a GOOD NEWS story.  On Tuesday I sent in my iBook 
to have several classic problems repaired that I have been experiencing.... 
loose internal power supply, loss of screen picture and airport reception 
when the screen is tilted at certain angles, and a combo drive that doesn't 
recognize most CDR's.  By FRIDAY I had it back with everything repaired and 
replaced.  It even looked cleaned up.  In all honesty it works better than 
new.  Great job Apple!

Tom
