I'm guessing you're talking about a 12" PB, in which case, yes 1GB chips work fine, for a total of 1.13GBs

Ooops sorry, you're probably right... he's probably talking about the 12"...
I think 1gb was not officially supported, but it does work.

The memory for the Rev B should work :

it wasn't officially supported initially because it didn't exist at the time.

The machine is listed as using PC2700 memory (like the bigger powerbooks), but it only uses the memory as PC2100 (like the iBooks). Feel free to buy any PC2100 SO-DIMM chip.
