[meathane]

my houemate has a powerbook G4, and my girlfirend has an iBook G4. he's recently put a gig of ram in it so he's got a 512MB dimm hanging about.

does anyone know if it will fit in my girlfriends iBook or is it different?

cheers guys

Without getting technical, you can take Powerbook-spec RAM and put it in the iBook, but not the reverse.

i think he bought the powerbook ram from crucial (the 512MB). so basically crucial ship the same ram out to powerbook and iBook users?

Simple Answer:

NO, however the PB ram will work in the iBook.

Take Care.

so is it worth doing? will it void the iBook warranty? will it overheat or something?
