more memory

[The General]

i just got a powerbook g4 w/ 512 megs of memory.

what kind of performace increase will i get by swapping ther 256 sodimm with a 1 gig?

recommended or not?

thanks.

Very good idea!

The more the merrier. Everything will run smoother, applications will launch faster, you can multi-task faster, everything will just be better.

it will give a performance increase and things will run better. Look up some benchmarks on the net to see if its worth the upgrade in your situation.

this might be a really stupid question, but what memory should i put in it? can i use regular old sodimms, or do i need special ones designed to work with macs? do they use the same memory??

thanks

i think it runs on DDR 333 so chances are you will be looking for DDR 333 SODIMMS.

check you manual or apple site to see.

So its not like HFS memory or some special stuff thats expensive? i could just go get any old ddr333/pc2700 sodimm and slap it in there?

possibly, but check with apple
