Hello,
I just bought the new G4 14" ibook yesterday! This is my first mac after years of pc use. I want to upgrade the ram but I'm confused on which to buy. Mac.com says to use PC2100 DDR266 SO-DIMM for 133 Mhz but I can't seem to find that. I have found other specs that say it can be used for the G4 but I want to be sure. Here are the specs from a site I've bought from before. Can someone tell me if any of these are ok?

1. Techworks 512MB PC2700 DDR-SO DIMM 333MHz 200 Pin for PowerBook G4 12", G4 15", & 17" Aluminum Models(All speeds); iMac G4/1GHz - 1.25GHz, iBook G4 Models. New with LifeTime Techworks Warranty. (TWK125020001)

2. 512MB PC2700 DDR 333MHz CL 2.5 200 Pin Low-Profile (non-stacked!) Memory Upgrade for All PowerBook G4 17" & 12" Models; Apple PowerBook G4 (15-Inch USB 2.0), iMac G4 1GHz-1.25GHz, iBook G4 Models. New, Lifetime Advance Replacement Warranty. (OWC2700DDRS512A)

I would go with the PC2700 as this is what Apple recommends. Even though the bus speed of the iBook is only 266, and not 333, I would stick with their advice...

Oh, and Congrats on the machine!!
