memory upgrade

[fjs08]

Hi,

I wrote about this before, but can't find the info here. I want to upgrade my 15" Titanium Powerbook from 512 to 1 gig of memory. How can I find out what I need and how I do it??
Thanks.

Check out http://www.datamem.com for some great deals on RAM. Plus, they let you search by the type of computer that you have (e.g., a 12" 1.33GHz iBook G4) and provide compatible RAM.

Not sure where to find a "how to guide", but if it is anything like my iBook G4, then you just pop open the keyboard, unscrew a lid, and install the RAM. This should be covered in your user's manual (if you have one).

I had a feeling that someone far more wiser than myself would come and provide a link- thanks WildCowboy.

Wiser? I don't know about that...

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Would going from 512 to a gig make any noticable difference in the speed I see?? It seems like things take forever to load anymore. All I have open is Safari and Entourage. I see the beach ball a lot...and it seems that I have to relaunch Finder on a daily basis. And I run a "repair permissions" every month on the 1st.

It will make a huge difference. The OS takes about 512 by itself.

And thanks to you dmw007 for the link

Thanks to everyone. Just received and installed the RAM. Ordered it on Sunday and it came today (Wednesday).
