so i'm getting a new powerbook tomorrow and i already have the extra ram...i'm wondering when to install it? is it ok if i put it in before i turn the computer on for the first time, or should i get everything set up first. does it make a difference? thanks!

Shouldn't make any difference but I would start it up and make sure everything is working first.

I'd boot it up, make sure everything works okay before you install the chip.
Just in case it is bad and you get a system crash or other problem associated with it, you'll be able to diagnose pretty quick having known that it worked perfectly before installing the extra RAM. It happens.
