iBook G4 and 1GB RAM module?
Has anyone attempted to put a 1GB RAM module in the new iBook G4s? Assuming that they have the same motherboard as recent powerbooks, it shouldn't be a problem, right?
My sister just got an iBook G4 and if it works, I will probably tell her to replace the removable module with a 1GB mod.

Yah... OSX will scream with two 512kb-modules... I would love to see a PB running on one megabite of ram!
For both portables, the 256 and 512 MB modules are identical:
PBG4 http://www.memoryx.net/appog41g12co.html
IBG4 http://www.memoryx.net/apib9314codr.html
So I guess the 1GB PBG4 module should work ?
Can anyone test this ?
Just because they use the same PC2100 200-pin memory doesn't mean they will both recognize the 1GB sticks!
iMac rev.A users are running 256s in slots rated max 128s
some new iMac and eMac users also report successfully overstuffing RAM
there are some iBook users sporting >1Gb, but most go PB for the cash a slimline Gig stick costs.
as for voiding the warranty or borking your chances for tech support if you call and cop to it...
400 bucks doesn't seem too bad if you really need a gig of memory...

thegelding, your right, $400 isn't bad if you really need that kind of memory. However, the price of a 1 gig stick should be coming down real soon, as do all computer components.
