	I checked with the Germantown (Memphis) Apple Store and they told me  
it was not compatible. The iBook G4 models introduced immediately  
after the 800 MHz model could do it, but not the 800 MHz one.
	Oh well. 640 meg RAM allows me to do just about everything I need  
anyway.  I ordered it that way from Apple, along with built-in  
Airport Extreme and built-in Bluetooth for use with the Apple  
Bluetooth mouse.
