RAM for iBook G4 (early 2004) - PC2100 or PC2700??

Hi,
i want to add 1GB RAM in my iBook G4 (early 2004) 1.2GHz 14''.
Which i found out can handle PC2100 (and is PC2700 compatible) according to this doc.
Which one you recommend, PC2100 or PC2700? Any diference?
So can i buy any RAM with the following specification?
1GB RAM PC2700 (or PC2100) - DDR 333 SO-DIMM - 200pin
thanks in advance
iBook G4 1.2GHz 14'' (early 2004)   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   256RAM - 60 GB

Hi,
Welcome to the Discussions.
Both will work. There's no advantage to using PC2700 as it will run at PC2100 speed. Go with the least expensive of the two.

  • Is iBook G4 (early 2004) battery hot-swappable during sleep

    Is the battery of an iBook G4 (early 2004) hot-swappable while the computer is in sleep mode and the power adapter is not connected?

    No. Download the iBook Manual from this page:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ibook/
    On page 46 of the manual, it says to shut down the iBook before removing the battery.
    The online instructions for iBook battery replacement can be found here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88121
    Again, it tells you to shut down the iBook before removing the battery. This has not changed for the iBook G4.
    Here is the list for part numbers for backup batteries:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86181
    Note that all iBooks are listed as n/a (not applicable) when it comes to backup batteries. Since your iBook does not have a backup battery, the battery is not hot-swappable.

  • Ibook G4 (Early 2004) wireless

    Does anybody knows if my Ibook G4 (early 2004) 12.1 inch serial number UV4232SKQJP is airport extreme ready? I want to go wireless but I don't know if I shoud buy the aiport card or the airport extreme card. How could i know which one? Thanks.

    According to Low End Mac:
    http://www.lowendmac.com/ibooks/12-100.html
    The 12" iBook G4/1 GHz introduced 2004.04.19 had wireless networking: 54 Mbps AirPort Extreme optional.
    So you would just need an Airport Extreme card (mounts under the keyboard on the left). Take a peek to make sure one's not already there.

  • RAM for iBook

    Hello, I have a question about RAM for my iBook (1.42 GHz). I would like to upgrade the RAM from the factory installed 512 mb. I can get another 512 mb for $100, and 1 GB for just under $300. Will the improved performance of the extra memory be worth the extra money?

    The RAM at Future Shop is Kingston 512 mb, 200 pin, PC2700 SO-DIMM DDR. The Apple site has PC 2700, DDR 333, 200 pin, 1.25 inch SDRAM, SO-DIMM.
    Not sure if these are the same thing or not. I'm not convinced that the people at Future Shop know very much about any Apple product, although they are an authorized re-seller. Maybe this won't be as easy as I thought....
    Will there be much difference having 1 GB total RAM versus 1.5 GB total RAM?

  • Memory ram for mac 13 'early 2011

    Hello guys, I wonder what the best brand of ram for mac and where can I buy. I'm from Portugal and liked to buy online. Can someone help me.
    Thanks in advance

    Rui´s,
    RAM for Macs from either Crucial or OWC has a good reputation.

  • IBook G4 (Early 2004) won't recognize RAM I just installed

    My iBook has 256MB RAM and I recently bought a 1GB PC2100 DDR SODIMM 333MHz RAM card from macsales.com. The card appears to fit in the empty RAM slot, and locks in okay, but it does not seem to push in all the way (about a millimeter of the gold metal connectors (sorry about my lack of vocabulary) is exposed). It's hard to tell from the pictures in Apple's installation directions (http://www.info.apple.com/usen/cip/pdf/ibkg4/ibg4-mem-cip1.pdf) whether this is correct or not. When I start my computer it says the second RAM slot is still empty, leading me to think the card is not installed correctly. Since I had a similar issue installing an Airport card but then found out I just had to shove it in the slot, I wonder if I am supposed to just push the RAM in a little harder, but I don't want to break anything. Is there anything I can do to find out whether the problem is bad RAM or incorrect RAM?
    I wonder if the RAM card I bought has the incorrect amount of MHz (there was a choice between 333 and 266)--would this cause the RAM to be unrecognized?

    Hi Nicole,
    Welcome to the Discussions,
    It takes more force than you'd think necessary to fully seat the card. Take it out and apply even pressure to seat it fully.

  • Maximum installable ram for ibook g4 800mhz?

    i get conflicting answers...can i install 1g of ram into this thing?

    According to this link in the iBook G4 developer note, the iBook G4 800 MHz has a single RAM slot that can accept a 512 MB SO-DIMM for a total RAM of 640 MB.
    Crucial.com and 18004Memory.com seem to agree that 640 MB is the maximum memory for that iBook.
    The information in KB 302333, iBook memory (RAM) guide is confusing. I would be willing to bet that the writer of that article made a mistake.
    However... if you want to experiment, you could purchase a 1 GB module and try it out. Trying it shouldn't hurt the RAM or the iBook. The iBook either will or won't recognize the additional RAM. If you do try this, please report back with the results.

  • Re: Max RAM for iBook G4

    hello,
    I am trying to find out the answer to the same question i.e. how much RAM can I add, and what do I ask for when buying RAM. also, can I buy from 3rd party vendors? If yes, which vendor/model# to ask for? I think apple stores will only provide upgrades for current models and not the one I bought in 2005.
    another q: what applications will adding ram enable me to use -that are not usable otherwise?
    specs of my ibook are given below. I saw memory configuration, it says 512MB built in, and 1 DIMM slot empty.
    thanks

  • Samsung RAM for MacPro 2008 Earlier Edition

    Hello. I am trying to decide between RAM from Samsung or Crucial. Which one is better for the MacPro? I read that RAM from Crucial can achieve quad channel performance. How about RAM from Samsung?

    Any make of FBDIMMs installed correctly will provide proper memory performance and bandwidth.
    Take a look at TechWorks brand from OWC.

  • Adding more RAM to iBook

    How do I add more RAM to an iBook?

    cowboyjunction, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Basically the RAM goes under the keyboard. The exact instructions depend on the exact iBook G4 you have.

  • Replacement keyboard for iBook G4 (M9419LL/A) 1.2GHz, 14"

    I've seen three different P/Ns listed for iBook keyboards:

    922-6189 (Early 2004)
    922-6913 (where does this one work)
    I'm having difficulty locating any 922-6189 keyboards.
    Does P/N 922-6913 support my (early 2004, M9419LL/A) G4, 1.2GHz, 14" iBook?
    Thanks!

    Hi and welcome, I looked at some of the more popular repair and part houses and it appears that all three are reconized as replacements for the iBook G4 early 2004 model. It might be just a slight color or transparency thing. You could do some more searching by just google-ing 922-6189.

  • 512MB vs 768MB RAM for Internet Browsing

    I've got a new (closeout) 1Ghz iBook w/ the standard 256MB RAM soldered in. I have one free RAM slot. It will be running 10.4. Usually my motto is the more RAM the better, but I'm not so sure in this instance:
    This iBook is SOLELY going to be used as an Internet terminal and nothing more. (I have a PM and PB for my main computing needs).
    A 256MB stick of RAM (which will give me 512MB RAM total) is $23 shipped. A 512MB stick is $56. I'd really like to put as little $ in this machine as possible given its limited purpose, so I'm wondering if I'll actually see any benefit from the extra 256MB RAM that a 512MB stick would give me. Any opinions on this?

    No. The only RAM your iBook can handle is PC2100/2700 DDR SO-DIMMs. A regular DIMM will not fit. DDR2 RAM will not work.
    Additionally, iBook RAM must be unbuffered, non-ECC, 2.5v., CAS 2.5 or better.

  • RAM replacement for Ibook Clamshell

    Hi,
    I have just bought an Ibook G3 clamshell (300mhz) for my boyfriend.
    After having updated from OS9 to OS10.3, I find myself with no memory left to install other programs.
    I know how to replace the ram for this model but I'm not sure what model or what capacity to choose as different websites contradict themselves.
    Does anyone around here know?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    What is the hard drive capacity, and how much space remains available on it?
    Do you have the original system CDs that came with the iBook when it was new?
    They would include Mac OS 8.6.
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/stats/ibook.html
    You didn't say anything about having updated the firmware on the iBook, and that needs to be done before upgrading to Mac OS X. You have to do the firmware update from Mac OS 9.1 installed on the computer's hard drive.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1395?viewlocale=en_US
    (Maybe a previous owner updated the firmware.)
    With sufficient hard drive space and Mac OS X 10.3.9, you should be able to use Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac:

  • Where to get cheaper ram for my ibook g3?

    Hello,
    is apple the only place where I can get new ram for my ibook g3? Checked their store, 512 ram costs 150 usd. That is expensive enough.
    Thanks in advance.

    Check out RAMSeeker.com. They will compare different RAM vendors' prices to help you get the best price.
    Be sure to buy from a firm that gives you a lifetime warranty on the RAM you buy. While RAM doesn't fail very often, it can happen. Enough vendors give a lifetime warranty that you should not settle for one that doesn't. I would recommend paying a few dollars more if necessary to get the lifetime warranty.
