[QUOTE="lzasitko, post: 32691"] [b]memory[/b] I have a 12" aluminum PowerBook (latest specs). As far as I am aware all the PowerBooks have some memory on board and one slot. In my case I can add 1gig of ram (I have added 512 meg) maximum and with the on board makes 1.25gig. Apple has always been conservative about maximum ram. For example I have a Clamshell iBook SE 366 and I have also added 512 to it. Apple says the max for the Clamshells is 256 meg but I have not had any problem with the 512. So even though Apple says max is 512 you may be able to actually use 1gig without problems. There are several places to get ram. Cruicial has a good reputation. When I bought mine I bought it from the local Apple dealer and in checking I did not pay much more than any of the online stores. Check prices in any case. Advantage to dealing local is that in some cases (like me) they installed it and tested to make sure that it was alright. [/QUOTE]
