Two days after ordering the memory upgrade for the Apple Computers UPS delivered and tonight the single processor 1.8 GHz G5 got his memory bumped up form the original 512MG to 1.5 GB.
Now, I assume bumping the iBook's memory is going to be a little more challenging - so let's start with the easy stuff.
Installation:
Inserting the two DIMMs is not difficult and after removing the fan there is enough room to do this. The origional modules are a little taller than the new crucial ones and I needed to push the DIMMs down a lot harder than I had expected, to allow the ejectors to snap into place.
After:
After re-inserting the fan, closing the case, and connecting all cables, the Power-Mac booted and "About This Mac" dialog showed 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM. After doing the hardware upgrade I upgraded from 10.3.7 to OS X 10.3.8. Upgrading was uneventful.
