hi,

My PB is the early version, 1GHZ 17" (Announced in January 2003) The spec sheet said the Max ram is 1GB. But I see some retailer sell 1 GB ram that even support the early version of 17" 1GHZ pb. So, 1GHZ + base 512mb should be sweet for me.

my concern is, is this really support my pb? any owner has done this upgrade?

i searched for this forum and found out some users said because the market didn't have 1 GHZ ram out yet, the max is 512mb, therefore, apple make the spec to 512mb for each slot.

Anyone please update me! thanks!!

    I got an extra gig from Crucial and it works great. I don't know how I ever would have managed with the 512 (standard). I'm using half of my 1.5 gigs right now by doing nothing but web surfing and messaging.
