How easy is it to modify a G3 ibook?

If it does not come with an airport, how do you put one in?

How do you open up the case to insert more RAM?

Is it possible to raid two hard drives so that you could swap out say a 20gb g3 ibook hard drive with a 40gb g3 ibook harddrive?

1. flip the keyboard back and you can easily insert an airport card and ram
2. no offense, but if you didn't know how to do the first 2 questions you probably aren't capable of doing the third. laptops are not the easiest things to work on and ibooks really aren't what you should learn on. not tring to be mean, it's beyond my capabilities also.

I am not sure what you mean by the last one. RAID has nothing to do with replacing hard drives with bigger ones. RAID would be an extreme mod for an iBook. Changing hard drives out with bigger ones is not that bad.

Well you can use RAID to copy a hard drive so that if you had say a 20gb and all your files, you could just RAID your new 40 gb hard drive and have all your information. I do it with my PC all the time.

RAID is not for copying hard drives for duplication.

RAID is a redundant array of inexpensive disks.

The notion being if you have several disks that are all kept simultaenously in sync for the data, that if one fails, you lose nothing.

What you're talking about is a simple disk clone operation.

Yes, you can clone a 20gb drive onto a 40gb using CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper! and put a 40gb drive in an iBook. I warn you that it isn't easy, many screws.
