[iBook] 512mb iBook

[Samantha Cornell]

Either way, you can easily add the other down the road (the RAM is an 
easy user install)

I have 768mb in my iBook and notice little to no difference between it 
and my iMac, with 512mb.

If you're excited about the Mighty Mouse, go with that, although I've 
heard that many prefer the Logitech mouse - it may be worth 
considering.
