Hey.

I noticed that my iBook G4 1.33ghz 512mb (stock config) notebook takes DDR PC 2700 SODIMM memory.

I have a PC that's been stripped for parts, and I have a 256MB DDR PC2700 333mhz Memoey DIMM APEX SDRAM MODULE.

Can I use this? Will my iBook care if it's DIMM instead of SO DIMM?

No. Yes.

SODIMMs are about half the size of DIMMs. The DIMM just won't fit.

I'm sorry, one more question:

(I'm new to this sort of thing)

What about PC100 SO DIMM cards?

Does the PC#/MHZ matter? Will it work?

I'm guessing no, but it IS SODIMM memory, so, here's to hoping...
