Yes and no. Your machine will need PC2700 (333MHz) DDR SDRAM SO-DIMM.

As long as you use that spec, you should be fine.

ahh, ok, i have looked at PB ram everywhere its sooooo dam expencive..

my PB is 1.5GHz but only 512ram..

will i notice a BIG change in things if i upgrade ram? i only ask you cause i notice we pretty much have the same book..

my PB runs really well as is, but obviously im not excited about the ram lol

I can tell you that I saw a marked improvement going from 1GB to 2GB of RAM, so I would imagine going from 512MB would be even more so.

Actually, I just remembered that my cousin recently upgraded his iMac from 512MB of RAM to 2GB and is very pleased with the significant speed boost that it brought him.
