vdschoor 0 #1 June 20, 2006 All, I want to get additional memory in my Powerbook (I started editting HD footage.. and I'd like to speed it up a bit) I checked out the apple website, 300 bucks for 1Gb.. Since the memory seems standard, I am wondering if I can just go out and buy memory somewhere else and it will work as well? I have the Powerbook G4, 15" 1.5 Any experience, feedback?

Brains 2 #3 June 20, 2006 Hey Iwan, i don't have a mac, but i was looking for memory for my dell lappy, i looked everywhere for memory and found some that i was pretty sure would work and it was more expensive that buying it from dell. YMMV Or, just check out Drew's post. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MB38 0 #4 June 20, 2006 Do not buy RAM from Apple. They overcharge like you wouldn't believe. It's not special "Apple RAM", it's Samsung RAM with a sticker on it. Buy from http://www.crucial.com/ or some similarly priced RAM site. RAM is RAM, get as much as you can fit in the machine.I really don't know what I'm talking about.

I buy most of my memory upgrades from them.~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.
