> I am not sure why you have 128mb built in RAM, it should be 256mb

The original ibook g4s shipped with 128mb of built in RAM, so I think that's why. They later changed it to 256 and added the option of a superdrive instead of just a combo. And that's why I wasn't sure if the system would make use of the extra memory.

Is it just a matter of matching the correct type (since the 512 is 2700, it shouldn't matter), or is it also a matter of what the system was designed to accept?

If the apple rep is telling me, after looking at the ibook's serial number, that the max is 640, should I believe that, or is there reason to believe the crucial website - and perhaps apple's own store - know something she didn't, since they and everyone else seems to think the 1gb bank will be fine.

thanks, to everyone
