The 800x600 is a hardware limit, its the number of physical dots the screen has, hence any software upgrade, or hardware upgrade other than changing over the LCD (which i doubt is possible) will not increase the resolution of the iBook.

Step 1: How much are you willing to spend

Step 2: Look at the amount and think if it's reasonable ?

Step 3: Does it really make sense to spend that amount of money on an totaly outdated computer ?

Step 4: Stop. Get a freaking G4 refurb iBook from Apple.
