Hello all! I have a friend of mine who wants to upgrade her laptop which is an ibook PowerPC G3, 600MHZ, 256MB SDRAM, 20GB Hard drive.
The first question is do standard laptop PC parts work with these ibooks? If I went on to newegg and bought a 512MB PC100 chip that didnt specifically say it was for APPLE will it work? Samen with a hard drive if I bought a standard 60GB laptop hard drive that doesnt say APPLE on it will it work? Is there an apple certified parts store where I can buy parts for this or will generic parts work?
Lastly I cant find any specs as to how far I can upgrade the hard drive to? What is the max size I can fit in this laptop? Also the max RAM I can fit is a 512MB chip can you verify it is PC100? or PC133? There is already a 128MB chip on-board, but the expandable slot will only go to 512MB...thanks!!!
