[QUOTE="lzasitko, post: 16296"] [b]clamshell ibook[/b] Actually you are wrong about the memory card. The clamshell ibooks had 64 meg on the motherboard and according to Apple can take a 256 meg card. I too had seen posts on the web saying that you could add more. I talked to a Apple dealer in Calgary AB and they heard the same thing but that no one had tried it. I said that I would so I went back and got the ibook and back to the dealer. They brought out a 512 meg card for a new ibook and we installed it and it works fine so I now have 576 meg in my clamshell. Apple has always been conservitive in memory that it can support and at the time of the original ibooks only 256 meg cards were available. There is only one memory card slot so if it has a 256 meg in it you have to get a 512, not another 256. Check about this mac and it will tell you what it has. The ibook that I bought is a 366 graphite and had 128 meg card in it. Have to be carefull about swapping a faster motherboard as later ibooks had firewire which your 300 would not have so the case is also a bit different. Not too sure about other changes made with the newer faster ibooks. Even swapping the hard drive can be a challenge I gather where you have to tear it all apart.
