That is awesome! But how do you have 1.25 gigs of ram? is that really a gig stick and a 256 chip?

Actually, it is 1.25 gb. 512 mb of ram, but 256 is soldered onto the logic board. So, 256+ 1000 = 1256, or whatever crazy number apple rounded off to.

That's just with the 12" PB's. 15" and 17" PowerBooks have one (removable) 512mb chip and one open slot standard.

Also, it's technically 1.5gb, even though it's 1536mb. One gigabyte is equal to 1024mb, so 1024/4 = 256mb, or .25gb and 1024/2 = 512mb, or .5gb.

:p

Just a side note.

I wanted to let everyone know that best buy has a pretty good deal on pc2700 laptop memory. I got 512mb Kingston for $72 plus a $24 rebate. That comes out cheaper than newegg.

Just thought you might want to know. I may not be the only one too impatient to wait on ordering parts.
