So clueless it hurts....(RAM)

[SakuraBaby]

I plan on buying an ibook g4 12" 1.2ghz tonight online.
I know it's better to have 512mb of RAM than 256mb, and I read that if I got any higher than pc2100 it'd just clock down, but what about the 333mhz aspect? Is it worth getting that or does it "clock down" to 266mhz? Is it bad to have 2 sticks at dif. mhz?

I'm a very lite techy chick, so I don't necessarily understand everything I speak of, hence the questioning hehe.

I got my memory from Coast to Coast. They have pretty decent prices and their site is well easy to navigate. You'll find the right RAM for your system in no time.

I asked the same when i got my iBook, and i got the same answer from one of the guys at the store. Since i believe it is true i wont recomend you to get the PC2600 module, it would be pointless. Also, as far as i know, modules at different speed are not compatible.
Apple sells 256mb PC2100 modules at $75 (installation is free at stores), other stores (PC related mostly) sell those modules cheaper.

you can find it way cheaper than that. installing it is really easy. there are instructions in one of the books that comes with your iBook, or you can find the instructions on line. BTW you are gonna love your iBook, i love mine!!!!!!!!!

NEWEGG.COM is by far the best deal on ram on the web. I got a 1gb stick of kingmax ram for almost half of what crucial.com wanted for it. had it for months now and absolutely no problems.
