Got an iBook last year, happy with it, although I think the speed could go up a bit... have 256 Mb RAM and am looking to add another 512 possibly, in addition to getting Tiger. Will I see a big difference in speed? Also, is it possible to replace the combo drive with a super drive, or should I just get an external firewire DVD-R?

Simsvic,

I have the G4 iBook as well. I also have the iMac at home.

I put an extra 512mb ram in the iMac and it made virtually no difference in speed. It will however run programs a bit faster - video, etc.

I presume the same would be true if you upgraded the ram in the iBook.

PM me and I'll give you a name and number to contact. This guy is a Mac Whiz.

I have the iBook G4 1.2 Ghz... am planning on the 512 ram upgrade... so no internal superdrive eh? Maybe the external one is better anyways, but from what you're saying iDVD won't work with this, right?
