Go to ramseeker.com and look for DDR2100 RAM. I bought a stick from Data Memory Systems for $153 yesterday. I don't know if it's the same as other notebook computers or not. Anyone else?

Hi!

I bought my ram directly from Apple and the exact type you need to buy is:

512MB PC2100 SO-DIMM DDR266

It is extremely easy to install. Just unscrew the four screws, take off the plate and pop out the 128MB chip currently installed in your Powerbook, and replace it with your new ram.

Apple charged $200.00 for 512MB.

Peter
