[QUOTE="meltbanana314, post: 72643"] 1. Get 768MB (256 in the iBook when you buy it, then buy 512MB from Crucial and install it yourself. Trust me. 2. Light workloads - Apple claims 6 hours, realistically you can get 3.5-4 on light use, with some services disabled and power-saving on. Some people have gone past that, though. Your milage may vary. 3. All lithium-ion batteries are good for about 500 charge cycles before they reach their point of becoming useless. You can make it better by completely discharging your batter about once a month. Think of it as a battery checkup. (If you aren't doing the same thing with your iPod, you definitely should.) [/QUOTE]
