Hey Alex, About the RAM in that G-3 iBook 500, just go to Crucial.com and search iBook. For the broken cd-rom go to the iBook 500 specs page on lowendmac. They usually have links to upgrades for your machine on the bottom of the specs page. Good luck! ~Paul Walters iBook G-3 800 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
