@macunwired Will it work if I put memory in my g4 that is from a ibook g3 "blue berry"? The memory in my g4 is 512 built in and the one i want to add is 192mb.Will it work?
-
So can I put 2 GB of memory or just 1 GB max????
-
I appreciate the irony of watching this from an iBook identical to the one shown in the vid, save for the upgrade of course, now to go find me a 1 GB chip
-
Thank you...worked first time, no problem.
-
your gonna need a super small screwdriver I used an eyeglass repair kit one
-
@zachsgamingstuff The ibook has ram attached on to the motherboard already
-
what kinda screw driver is needed?

i have two questions: 1. when you take out the old memory chip and put in the new one, doesnt it lose the old memory making it 1 gb not 1.5 gb? or is the additional .5 built into the system? 2. do you have to get a specific brand or type of memory chip.
thanks!

thanks for enlightening me i disasembled from the bottom and i got rly PO pissed off and it was the biggest facepalm moment in my life
So the "fastest" RAM speed this machine can be upgraded to would be 1.5 gig?

Yes... depending on the machine after you add a 1GB chip you will have 1.12, 1.25, or 1.5GB of RAM.

so the top memory chip can be replaced and the bottom on is non-removable?

That is correct. The built in memory is literally soldered on the motherboard.
