[QUOTE="Osiris22x, post: 114399, member: 3542"] The RAM that laptops take is called SODIMM, a DDR PC2700 module specifically uses 200 pins. The desktop RAM you speak of is generally a DIMM or SIMM depending on configuration. The physical modules are quite a bit bigger for desktops. Your sister's iBook uses roughly the same RAM, with a few minor differences. The specs on RAM for a new Powerbook are: PC2700, DDR333, 200 pin SODIMM module, CL of 2.5, and it's NON-ECC unbuffered memory. Lastly, the new 15" Powerbooks have two memory slots in them, and they do *not* require matching sticks, so a 512MB stick and a 1GB stick would work just fine together. The PowerBook does not support dual channel speed enhancements. The maximum memory it can address is 2GB total. Hope this helps!
