Ok, so I've decided I need to upgrade my Powerbook's RAM. It runs too slowly for me, and RAM is cheap. I have a few things that I'm not completely sure about and I'd appreciate some help.
1. I have a 1.33Ghz 12" Powerbook. I got it about 7 months ago. I think it's still the same one on the market right now. As I understand it there is 256mb or ram installed into these machines automatically and a second slot where you can add upto 1gig or ram? Is that right. I think so, but when I looked at the apple manual (http://www.info.apple.com/usen/cip/pdf/pbg4/pbg4-12in-mem.pdf) it looked to me like there will only be one area for only one memory stick/card/thing to go into. Do I have my facts straight?
2. No assuming that I can install another memory card ontop of my already installed 256, what size card do you all recomend? I use my computer pretty causally with some downloading here and there, and some DVD burning, and some internet surfing and email and nothing too intensive, but I don't want to find myself unable to run programs I want to use in the future. Well not the iminent future anyways. So what will the benefits of 512mb upgrade vs a 256 mb upgrade, and even a 1gig mb upgrade?
Thanks a bunch.
