[QUOTE="Brown Study, post: 543851, member: 3889"] You should be able to find your Mac [URL="http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html"][B]here[/B][/URL], where its original specs should be listed. Another good site full of info is [URL="http://www.lowendmac.com/"][B]lowendmac.com[/B][/URL]. The Mac Museum link on the left of the main page might have info on it, too.There is only one version of each separately named OS, such as Jaguar, Panther, Tiger and Leopard. Apple might update them on later versions of the DVD (or CDs), but any such updates would only incorporate the free updates available under the Software Update drop-down menu. So go nuts with the free updates. I didn't check that first linked site, above, to see whether your machine can read DVDs. I assume it can. But if it can read only CDs, you can still get the OS from Apple, but it apparently costs an extra 10 bucks. I don't know which disks would have shipped with your machine, but as well as the OS, probably a DVD or DVDs that included a system restore, as well as an OS install, and perhaps a hardware-check application. Someone else might know more about this than I do. I know nothing about the cost of a RAM upgrade or hard-drive-swap particulars.
