The going rate on auction sites is something like 400-450 for lesser setups, but since it's MacRumors, it usually goes a little bit cheaper. So considering the upgrades you made, if I were you I'd say the item is worth $400. But will you get $400 for it here? I really don't know :). If you are interested in trading anything, I have some items I could toss your way in PM....

I can see offering $350-400 shipped as reasonable on here. Might I add that I may be interested if this comes up for sale.

I concur with the $400 guess.

The max RAM on that chap is 640MB, isn't it? That knocks the legs out of some of us -- nevermind, I checked and it accepts up to 1.125GB.

I was thinking that there was a terrible "gotcha" about the 800MHz iBook G4's. It was probably just my RAM delusion. Well, it won't install Leopard without a simple OpenFirmware hack, I could have been thinking of that too.

I <3 the iBooks. I've had six or seven of 'em.

If this is up for sale, could you post some pictures?

My understanding is that 640MB is the maximum RAM for this model, but I could be wrong.

Can do.

http://lowendmac.com/ibooks/g4-12.html says that it's 1.125GB. Not that they'll guarantee it, natch, but I've had good experiences relying on their information in the past.

Ah the first generation G4 ibook. I had one of these for three years - they are amazingly reliable laptops - the thing is, the later revisions had more L2 cache which really sped things up, keep that in mind
