[iBook] memory question

[Tom Legare]

I have 640MB in my iBook 500, which was the max when the iBook 500 was
introduced.  But I was curious if a 1GB chip had been invented yet for
that type (which I think it has) and if anyone has tried it.  The iBook
500 has 128MB on the motherboard, so a 1GB chip would bring it up to
1.1GB.

I installed the max ram in my iBook 500 dual USB.
No problem at all. Bought it from crucial. Don't know if it was the best
price, but I believe that when it comes to ram especially, it pays to
get quality. They provided plenty of support also. And by the way, if
you want to run panther on this machine, max ram is a must.
