Ok here's the setup: I have a 12'' Powerbook G4 867 MHZ with currently 640 MB of RAM while using 10.2. I've had since the summer of 2003 and it's been a great tool and lately I've been using it more on a everyday basis (partly b/c my PC has been acting wonky...possible video card troubles). Lately though I've thought about getting more RAM up to 1 GB. Since this is my first Mac I've owned plus never buying RAM for my PC neither (something I want to do too) is there anything I should look out for? What type would work best with my current laptop? Suggestions?
Got a tip for us?

However, Kingston ram has worked best for me when upgrading from Apple's usually paltry oem modules. Lifetime warranty.

I recommend any memory that uses either Samsung or Hynix chips, as Apple seems to prefer them and because I've never had an issue with either. Newegg.com is a good place to look. Ramseeker.com is also recommended. Good luck 
I'd also check Other World Computing (www.macsales.com). I've bought all of my RAM from there and i've never had a problem. I've also noticed that Powerbook RAM prices have been dropping for a while now. Should check it out.
