Hey,

I've just ordered a new 12" iBook 1.2GHz and wants to upgrade it with 512MB Crucial memory. But I have found several modules on their site, which all might fit.

Which one of these should I buy?

Looks like the second one on your list is what you need. Can someone back me up on this?

On a side note, I'm typing this on my 1Ghz iBook--which has a stick of 256MB no-name RAM that I had laying around in it. The system works perfectly--no trouble or issues. What I'm saying is, I think you're fine with any of them (except maybe the 333Mhz one--it might be too fast for the iBook to handle).

It looks like the third one is right to me. However, I found crucial to be really expensive when I was upgrading my wife's iBook... I went with memorysuppliers.com, and bought a 512mb stick of samsung memory... I expect it here in a day or two. I'll let you know how it works, if you like.

It was like $40 cheaper. I've used crucial in the past, and have always been satisfied, but cost was rather outrageous in this case. Let's see if I'm happy with my choice. ;)

You might want to read this thread (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=82104) before buying anything. It might save you some money based on how Crucial's site and cookies work.

Okay, I'll go for the cheapest then...

The "64Meg x 64" spec. has no influence?

alywa -> Here in Denmark a 512MB Samsung stick cost about 50$ more :cool:
