Hey all, quick question, can the new powerbook G4s support 1 512 ram module and another 1gb ram module, or do they have to be paired? Because it'd be cheaper for me to buy from apple store with 1 512, and then later buy a 1gb. thanks

You can mix them. I did that for a short time before I got my 2nd 1GB stick. Worked great.

Its cheaper to buy from other vendors. I just ordered 1gig from newegg.com.

I use 1.5 GB of RAM and it works great.

I also use 1.5GB of RAM and it works fine. Just make sure you buy a reputable brand to avoid any issues down the road.

Pretty much any RAM that is the same specs (except size, of course) as your's will work, but don't be tempted by the super cheap stuff. Only buy from reputable brands with a good warranty (Kingston, Apple).

I've been running Omni-Tech 1GB stick for about a month now with no problems.

The 1gb chip from apple is insanely priced though IMO.
I would think it would be cheaper especially if you are buying a computer off them and having a direct upgrade.
