Lower slot on the 500/600 iBooks upgradable?
i have a quick question. does anyone know if you can upgrade the 128MB chip that comes with the iBook that you can't normally access? is it soldered to the MB, or could i upgrade if i rip the machine apart.
i already put a new HD in this machine, so i had it into a few dozen pieces, but forgot to check that part out while i was at it.
of course, apple doesn't offer any useful information about this. when they say that you can't upgrade something, that just means you shouldn't, doesn't me you can't.

You're stuck at a max of 640 MB of RAM. (128 + 512)

Well that's until 1Gb chips comes out.

<strong>How much would that mother cost? The 512 is still at $230. I shudder to think of the bucks you'd hafta shell out for a GIG.

I meant in the future. They'd probably cost how much the 512 does now.
i was surprised to find that i could get an actual Apple brand ram chip for only a few bucks more than the generic stuff. in light of the chips that got zapped for being under spec in the past, it seemed for the extra $10-$15.
well, that's enough for me, i've just noticed that OSX is a bit laggy with 256, and was hoping that the extra ram would help.
