| Seeking Wisdom Re: iBook G4 ram
hi. so i've got this old ppc g4 1.2ghz that's my pet project, trying to prove to its previous owner (my gf) that it's still a viable laptop...so I upgraded from panther to tiger and the restrictive ram (256mb) is even more of an issue. Really sux. So I hit a hardware website and it specified that the memory in it is 200pin ddr sodimm pc2700. I love to get all my junk off craigslist, but man nobody has any of this. Wondering if ddr2/ddr3 would work if it fit. what about that whole 2700 thing, something i definitely have to stick to? thanx in advance (or just thanx for bothering to read) |

Even though you love Craigslist, there's absolutely no reason to use it as the sole source of computer parts. Yes, you need PC-2700 SO-DIMMs for the iBook. No, you cannot use the newer DDR2/3 RAM. PC-2700 RAM is relatively inexpensive anywhere you look (as long as they have it, which negates using Cragslist): http://ramjet.com/ibookn.asp http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memor...ooks/G4-iBook/

Well, you can wish in one hand and sh*t in the other, and see which one fills up first.

Heh... that line used to tick me off when I would hear it as a youngster (begging for a trip to the arcade, wanting a new blah-blah, etc.). It's nice that I'm old now and can turn the tables. :P As rude as the saying sounds, it's just about the truest thing I've ever heard.
