I have an Ibook G4 with the following specs:
800mhz
L2 cache 256kb
256k Ram
Bus133 mhz
boost rom 4.7.7
30gb
This is a secondary laptop and i was just wondering if i should upgrade it for general use.
The only thing that is used on the ibook that takes up ram is The Sims II.
If i should upgrade some components can you also give some suggestion and places.
Thanks

also, is the ibook affected by multiple user accounts?

Check if the battery is under recall. Next, buy a 512MB RAM stick for it.

Def max the RAM out. The iBook G4 800MHz is a great Mac, I wouldn't let it just sit and collect dust. Multiple user accounts, like on any Mac, affect the hard drive space, and RAM if you have fast user switching on.

thanks for the replies. What kind and brand of Ram do you guys recommend, since i do not know the max?
sorry if i am asking to many apple noob questions

[Angelbayb85]

also, do the ibooks come with single or double slots?

[chefpastry]

I think that the max amount of RAM you can put in that model is 2GB. There are two slots, so two 1GB sticks will bring you to 2GB.

I am not sure if it is a single or double slot because i was looking at another site and it said it has 1 slot and max's out at 6**MB Ram.
This g4 was purchased new 3/04
Thanks for the help so far
i see CC and bestbuy have 512 200 pin rams for sale for under $50, are these good prices and do the brands matter?

You can have up to 640Mb of RAM, which means you need to buy a stick of 512Mb. I would get it from Memory Upgrades for your Apple iBook G4, iBook G4 (14-inch) - 800MHz, 933MHz or 1GHz at OtherWorldComputing.com
You can theoretically buy the 1 gig, but 640 would be your best bet. And there is one RAM slot, the logic board has 128Mb built in. You def cannot put 2 gigs in it. The max that any iBook can have is 1.25Gb, and that is the 1.2GHz or above models.
