OK, someone help me out: You recommended here as a good place to buy memory. But I look there, and am v. confused. Which one do I buy? (Beyond the "do I get the 256 or 512?" choice). I have a 1Ghz 12" powerbook. And that's all I know, off the top of my head. Then I get confused.
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

If my goal for my home computer is being able to sit on the sofa and be on line, and I am a Mac only girl, will this be sufficient:
Would it be less sufficient if I wanted to install airport so I could use the campus wireless network?

Absolutely.

It looks like that laptop uses an older Airport card, which might not be compatible with the current wireless technology.
(Or, other tech people -- am I wrong? If a wireless network is 802.11g, can an 802.11b card connect to it?)

Thanks Steph! Taking my ruby iMac on the sofa is proving problematic!

E's 802.11g computer connects to our 802.11b network just fine, but I've never tested it the other way around. I think 802.11g is supposed to be backwards-compatible both ways, though.

Hmm. If that's the case, then Sophia, that should work.
NB: The laptop you linked to does NOT come with a wireless card installed; you'd have to have that added. But it seems like it would connect to a wireless network.

Thanks again Steph and Jessica!

Hey. New board.
That laptop is very similar to mine. It will connect to any wireless network just fine.
EDIT: Once you add the Airport card, that is.

So, no one can help me with the memory thing?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Meara, this page: [link] says it uses 256 MB, expandable to 1.25 using PC2100 DDR SDRAM memory
This site has a nice grid [link] of prices, including OWC's [link] for the exact module.
You might even save some for the Kingston ram or others scrolling down to NewEgg, but I'll see what other people add for input.
Always, of course, go for the lifetime warranty...
