Thanks for your input, too. If that's true, I'd be very happy.
I'll be getting a powermac at some point in the future - maybe with the next update or so - but i still plan on using my ibook as a daily portable, and the extra ram would be great.
So far, crucial seems the best bet for people like us. If i try to update it soon, I'll post a reply regarding my success.

It is true that for a long time Apple were saying the maximum capacity was 640mb, but this is only because 1gb sticks were not readily available. Only a few suppliers did them (Apple wasn't one of them) and they were very very expensive. I know several people who have installed third party 1gb sticks in RevA G4 iBooks such as ours and they work perfectly. I am considering it myself now the price has dropped significantly, but I am getting a new mac soon anyway, and to be honest, RAM is not a problem for me, it is the CPU and GPU holding me back. |
