Oops you are right, Vicki! That was a typo as I was looking at 256mg prices - but looks like I might be smarter to go for 512 since I have recently learned that pismos can now go to 1gb. Thanks for the offer to help - I am in Canada and have replaced memory before - although not in the lower slot! Tom and Vicki have both recommended buying a drive off of eBay and fitting it myself but I must say I am leery of some of the work involved after reading a link linked to a site sent to me by Tom. Fastmac, on the other hand, makes slot-load combos and supers that supposedly just slide right into the bay and they are not expensive - even compared to eBay which has similar tray-loading drives for about the same price. (I don't want to replace my original drive with the same as it never worked and I do not trust the model - although this would be the cheapest alternative.) Thanks for all the info - any more would be welcome, Tannis -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
