But I meant the supplier and the maker of the RAM.
Anyway, I was tricked--okay, not really--I should say guided to WE LOVE MACS, A Division of Memory X (http://www.welovemacs.com/) from always-so-dependentable Macsurfer.com.
Chose the PowerBook G3 & G4 Memory from the Apple Computer Memory category.
Found myself the "1GB Apple Original/Samsung OSX/OS9 PC133 PowerBook kit (p/n APL144X1024)" for $296.00.
Actually, I order 4 of the "512MB Apple/Samsung OSX/OS9 PC133 PowerBook SODIMM (p/n M9088G/A)" instead, since they are $139.98 each (139.98 x 4 = $559.92 verses $296 x 2 = $592), and both look the same to me.
So to sum it up, I will be the lab rat to test these memory for those who would like to upgrade their TiBook with more memory later on.
Should report back in one month's time.
Until then, have fun with your Macintosh computing experience!

Hey guys, I've just received the 4 of the 512MB Samsung notebook memory I ordered last night!
I'm so happy because I placed the order only less than a week ago from from www.welovemac.com.
Two thumbs up for www.welovemac.com for prompt delivery and low international shipping costs--US$21.36 for a US$559.92 order.
These are geninue Samsung notebook memory--yes, they are branded under Samsung--so they should perform well.
Still, I will use them and report back here in a month's time.
Until then, enjoy computing with your Mac!
Best Regards,
George Lien

Where mah "any" keys at?
Simple. Just remove the bottom panel and pop 'em in.
I custom configured a 1.8 Ghz G5 on Apple's site, but I should probably order from a retailer as well, so I can get as good of a deal as I can, when I finally drop the money for a machine... however, I don't know how much I can save over the educational discount.

Smooth.
Both PowerBooks, my original 500MHz and my new 1GHz, work really smooth with a Gig of memory upgrade.
PowerBook G4/500 now runs at bar with the B&W G3 with a G4/500 and 1GB of RAM upgrades.
But soon the B&W G3 G4/500 should be able to put up a fight with the gigahertz PowerBook once I get the hardware RAID, with four 80GB w/ 8MB cache WD hard drives, going.
In short, I highly recommend people with PowerBooks running OS X to max out their memory. The difference between 256MB and 768MB is huge, but the difference between 512MB and 1GB is even greater.
Get the RAM. You will know the difference.
Even better. Get quality RAM with SAMSUNG chips on them to get the best performance.
