[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 880339, member: 56379"] I purchased an iBook Clamshell a few months ago for $75...no shipping! As far as your Clamshell: - I would max out the ram by installing a single 512meg stick of memory, and purchase it from these guys: [url=http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/100SO512328L/]512MB PC100 CL2 2-2-2 LowProfile 1.25 inch(non... (TPW512I) at OWC[/url] - I've heard that upgrading the hard drive can be a bit difficult on these, so unless you must, I would skip the HD upgrade. - As far as which version of Mac OS...I have Mac OS 10.4 on my Clamshell & it seems to be running ok...but 10.3 was on it when I bought it, and it ran pretty good with it as well. Regardless of what you do to upgrade it...it will still be a bit slow...especially when surfing the internet on webpages with a lot of video & graphics content. Don't even think about going to U-Tube!!!;D Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
