Hi guys,

i've got (another) question. I'm going to buy an Apple iBook. It will be my first Mac (I'm switching from Windows XP) and so I've no experience with hard- or/and software. How is that if I buy SO-Dimm, must it be SO-Dimm for an Apple notebook or can that be any kind of SO-Dimm for whatever notebook? I'm asking because I figured that it's much cheaper not to buy Apples RAM. Local dealers are much cheaper!
 
The new G4 iBooks take PC 2100 DDR SO-DIMMs, up to 512MB is supported officially, however there a reports that a 1GB stick will work.
 
I recommend avoiding 4allmemory.com. Someone else on this site recommended them, so I gave them a try and got a bum RAM. Not his fault, but nonetheless. Could also be a fluke.

May have been me. Sorry, if it was me. I've bought tons of RAM from them and never had one bad stick.

A 1GB stick works in the iBook???? Tell me more please.
 
The 1GB sticks are unsupported by Apple but many people have tried them and seem to work. I can tell you that if your iBook fails while the memory is installed Apple probably wont fix your system under warranty or AppleCare since it falls out of designed specifications.
