Hey guys,
I've got a powerbook with 256mb of ram. If I got 512mb, like this: http://www.crucial.com/store/MParts...ok+G4+1.33GHz+(12-inch+Display)&WSPN=CT368641 , would I have a total of 768mb, or would I remove the origional 256mb, and have a total of 512mb?

Thanks

Almost positive that the base 256 is on-board RAM, meaning you can't take it out. So if you grab the 512 stick you'll have 768.

100% positive - the 256 is built in - you'll have 768MB.
