adding RAM to iBook Clamshell
I wanted to add some RAM. I have a graphite iBook clamshell, no firewire. It has 128MB of RAM on it now, what would it take to upgrade to say... 256 or higher? And upgrading the harddrive? It comes with the standard 6gb hard drive. Mostly it's the RAM. Are there any considerations for installing it myself? Would I have to reinstall the mac OS? Thanks. Andrea M.

Clamshells are a PITA to take apart, but it can be done if you are careful. That said, there is only one RAM slot, so any upgrade means replacing the RAM with a new module. The RAM is fairly easy to access, under the keyboard and Airport card. Should only take a few minutes. The hard drive is another story. You have to remove: * Battery * Keyboard * Top case * Optical drive * Modem * Display assembly * Logic board EMI shield A lot of fiddly bending and pinching of plastics to get the infernal case apart. It can be done but is not for the timid. If you only replace the RAM, there is no need to reinstall the OS. Of course, if you replace the hard drive, you will have to format the drive and install an OS. Ken -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Are there any considerations for installing it myself? Would I have to reinstall the mac OS? Thanks. Shortly before I sold my tangerine iBook I installed a 512 MB stick of RAM making it a very happy camper. When the iBooks came out the largest SODIMM made was a 256 stick so that's the limit that Apple certified it as but as many of us found, it happy accepted the 512 stick. When you upgrade the RAM be very careful with the keyboard. It is pretty easy to jam the plastic retainers at the top (where the function keys are). The hard drive is something of a challenge. There are three thousand parts to remove to get to the hard drive and two thousand nine hundred and ninety eight to replace. Two screws inevitably remain when the job is done, I think they procreate while you aren't paying attention. Actually only the first and last sentence of this paragraph are true, all else is exaggeration for humorous affect. Google 'iBook hard drive upgrade' and you'll find a nice set of instructions complete with photos of how to do the upgrade. I did one a week before that website went active. david -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I'm not sure but I don't think that any fax you send are kept around. Since they are based on a document you can open, I think they might assumed that there was no need for keeping the fax around. I could be wrong, though, because I think I only faxed once in Panther. You can also do a preview of the fax before sending so you'll be able to see how the cover page look and how the document will look. Remember, the fax capabilities in OS X are more a convenience than a full faxing software. If you think you're going to fax a lot of documents, you might want to look into those kind of utility, like Page Sender and faxSTF... -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Flyspeck 3 n.: Standard name for any font that is so tiny as to be unreadable (by analogy with names like `Helvetica 10' for 10-point Helvetica).
