[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 696580, member: 56231"] Good one! So what model of iBook is it? When that's established, go to [url]http://www.everymac.com[/url] to check the RAM specs. I know prices are pretty high in Britain, but £30 seems too much. Without knowing which iBook you have, I can't tell you how much RAM it will take, but once you've got the specs sorted, try OWC [url]http://www.macsales.com/[/url] for good prices. Other reputable brands of RAM include Crucial and Kingston, so shop around in your locality for prices on those. Don't be afraid of buying used RAM either. Just make sure it's been tested. Another thing - Panther or OS 10.3.9 is a good OS, but Tiger OS 10.4.xx is better, except that you'll have to buy it, you can't 'upgrade' from Panther to Tiger without paying for the privilege. Again, once you've got the model of iBook established, check that everymac site or Mactracker for the best OS for that machine. [/QUOTE]
