ibook G4 800 mhz

Mine worked great and I got a lot of use out of it. Maybe max out the ram and hard drive (1024M and ~250 G, respectively) while the parts are readily available?
You could get a hard over 128GB on the 800MHz iBook's?
at the moment i dont have any bigger laptop hd's then 20 gig and it has 384 mb ram i had a spare pc 2700 so dimm lying around
in due time ill up it to at least 1152 mb if the 1 gig modules are a bit reasonable
not to keen on upgrading the hd 20 gig is plenty and i have been in ibooks before
not in a hurry to repeat all that again
my 2 ibooks are fine they are the 500 mhz versions and were released before the whole gpu problem became an issue
one of them is ...quirky though
its bak light goes on and off its held together by no more then 10 screws its combo drive lives when it wants to
yet it runs and runs and runs i threw tiger at it and it runs it just fine in only 384 mb ram
the other 500 mhz is in absolute pristine and perfect working condition yet it has 64 mb ram solderd on its motherboard opposed to 128 mb in the other
and thats noticable
..go figure

Maybe not from Apple, but you can get suitable drives >200 gigabytes from Western Digital. Kind of a fuss to disassemble an iBook, so may as well do that and maybe upgrade to a Superdrive at the same time.
