I would just like to know if I would be able to add more RAM in the future if I got an iBook? Would I have to take it to an Apple store or could I do it myself?

So if I get 1GB at first and wanted to add more RAM i'd have to get a 1GB stick to replace one of the 512's?stridey said:You can easily add RAM yourself. Be warned though, that the iBook only has one RAM slot (in addition to the 512MB of RAM soldered on the board).

Well, there isn't a single standard for notebook RAM . The iBook takes PC2700 DDR SODIMMs (some iBooks are specified for PC2100 but all of those will use iBook-compatible PC2700 modules, so we recommend sticking with PC2700). Apple requires them to conform tightly to the JEDEC specifications, including the Serial Presence Detect settings, Not all RAM manufacturers bother to comply 100%, so some RAM will not work in the Mac.bill4588 said:oh one more question. does it take normal notebook ram or is there a special kind for macs?
