Re: Max RAM for iBook G4

Question

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

Answer 1

{while this thread was "answered" and a new one should
have been started, I replied to the last new question here...}
iBook G4 (Mid 2005) -- info from mactracker: http://mactracker.ca
Logicboard RAM: 512MB (not removable)
Maximum RAM: 1.5GB (by adding one 1024MB chip)
1 - PC2700 DDR333 200-pin SO-DIMM
Places like Other World Computing, crucial.com and OEMPCworld
have compatible RAM. My iBook G4 1.33, 12" mid-2005 portable
has one from OEMPC and it is a Samsung Apple certified part. I
got mine after purchasing the computer, through the mail. It works.
The same part is compatible with the iMac G4 last model 1.25 17/20.
Hopefully this helps!
