[rescue] WTB/Advice: Mac iBook/PowerBook

[Bill Vinson]

Sure.  It isn't hard.  Apple actually has a video on their site (Can't 
remember the URL), as the Airport card and the ram are user 
upgradeable.  I believe my 256MB stick is PC133 running at 100MHz as the 
bus is only a 100MHz (Not sure so don't take my word for it).  Most 
retailers like ClubMac, Mac Warehouse, etc. will give you a free 128MB 
OR 256MB stick if you buy from them.  Some will even let you pay the 
diff if all they are giving is 128 and you want more.  512MB is still 
anywhere from $178 to $300 depending on where you buy 
(http://www.ramseeker.com).  As always double check to make sure you get 
the right ram and buy from a reputable store.
