There are two types of Airport cards. Airport and
Airport Extreme. Two different form factors/pin outs.
Airport is the older type that you must use (802.11b
12Mbps). Airport Extreme is 802.11g @ 54Mbps. The
first iBooks that could use Extreme were the G4 iBooks
(I have a G3 900 and it uses standard Airport).

Can't boot from USB. The USB ports on your iBook are
the ver 1.1 variety. Running an OS off that drive, if
you could, would be unreasonably slow. Better to
perhaps get a larger internal drive. If not that, then
a firewire drive. Solves the boot problem and gets you
more space.

500Mhz will do for that. I've run X on a Bondi Blue
iMac 233, so I know a G3 500 can do it. With OS X,
more RAM is always better. Max RAM is best.
