Does iBook G3 RAM work in G4 iBook? - katkramer - 05-09-2008
I have two iBooks...a G3 and a G4. I've put the G4 up on Craigslist in Austin, and was typing up the specs when I found out something absolutely amazing...the G4 only has 768MB of RAM!!
I'm a graphic designer type, and I've been using this silly iBook for several years, running PhotoShop, InDesign, Dreamweaver, GoLive...and NEVER KNEW that it didn't have very much RAM. (Take that, Vista!!)
I originally upgraded the G3, and I'm wondering if I can put the G3 iBook RAM in the G4 iBook?
Any info appreciated...

No, sorry, different ram. G3s take a pc100, g4s pc2100 or 2700 I believe.
768 isn't so bad.

Here's a 1Gig that should work:

My pleasure. My G$ PB has been upgraded to 2Gigs, otherwise I would have jumped.
