my friend has a alumium powerbook 1ghz model with 256mb of ram. My power management on my tibook 500mhz just died (R.I.P - the best computer I ever owned) and I want to give my friend one of its 256mb ram chips. But I imagine they are not compatible? Can anyone enlighten me?

The alubook uses:
Size: 256 MB
Type: DDR SDRAM
Speed: PC2700U-25330

but sorry I don't know whats in the tibook as it doesn't turn on anymore. I'll open it up and have a look though if anyone needs to know to answer my question.

thanks in advance!

Definitely not. TiBooks used PC133 while AlBooks were DDR. Its why TiBooks maxed out at 1GB (PC133 SO-DIMMS only went up to 512MB)
15" MBP, 2.33 GHz C2D, 120GB HD, 2 GB RAM, OS X 10.4. 4GB iPod Nano.
