Comments about Crucial 1GB Upgrade for a Apple PowerBook G4 1.5GHz (15-inch Display) System:

Worked perfectly in my 15" Powerbook 1.5 ghz, that I still have running as my laptop. I had a RAM port go out just after the recall for that item, so I was running on only 512 mb RAM. The upgrade to 1 gb made a huge difference in usability, extending the life of the computer for a little longer. I had bought a cheaper 1gb stick earlier, but it did not work with my mac, so I had to buy the crucial which works perfect.

Comments about Crucial 1GB Upgrade for a Apple PowerBook G4 1.5GHz (15-inch Display) System:

My computer came with 1GB RAM pre-installed; the second GB purchased makes little if any difference with graphics processing or speed in general. Follow Mac user manual for installation. You do not need to depress power button to drain all power as one of the steps prior to installation.

The card supplied by Crucial was immediately accepted by my G4 upon restart with zero hang-up.

Comments about Crucial 1GB Upgrade for a Apple PowerBook G4 1.5GHz (15-inch Display) System:

[...] couldn't have been easier to install. Unfortunately for me the 2 slot on my Mac Powerbook G4 is bad (which is a well know issue at Mac but news to me). I took the memory out of slot 1 and put the new crucial memory in to test. It worked great. I then called to see if i could return the memory i had purchased from crucial for a full refund. The gentleman at customer service was very polite and agreed to refund my money once crucial received their memory back. A week or so later crucial emailed me to let me know that they had received my return. The following day my bank account was credited with a full refund. In the near future i intend to by a Mac Pro and i will buy memory from crucial to beef it up. Excellent company and i would recommend them to a friend. A friend who has bought memory from crucial told me about them in the first place.

Super easy to install ... worked on the first try! (Just follow the instructions in the Apple manual).
I've been waiting literally months for local computer shops to find me RAM (apparently it's difficult to find compatible RAM for this model of Apple laptop), I got fed up with waiting and ordered from Crucial. They made it easy to find the correct RAM with their "Memory Advisor Tool". I had my new RAM upgrade to 2 GB from the original 512 MB within a few days! I couldn't be happier! It's like having a brand new computer! Thanks Crucial!

The best things about ordering from Crucial is that finding the correct memory upgrade was easy. I'll I had to do is enter the model information and processor speed of my Mac. The Crucial web page then made the recommendations of what memory modules would work with my Mac. Because of this I was confidante that I got the correct memory. Unlike other places, you had to know exactly what kind memory module you needed. I wasn't sure if I could use the newer types of memory in my Mac.

Comments about Crucial 1GB Upgrade for a Apple PowerBook G4 1.5GHz (15-inch Display) System:

I replaced the original equipment 512 MB RAM in my 15" Aluminum PB G4 laptop with 2 sticks of 1GB Crucial RAM. I saw an immediate HUGE performance jump. Startup times and transfer times from external HD's are likewise much quicker. My only 'complaint' is that this PC2700 RAM is so much more expensive/GB than that for the latest PC2-5300 RAM. Overall, I'm totally satisfied. Installation could not have been easier.

I was worried that I would order the wrong memory or that I would not be able to install the new memory. Crucial provided a very good tool to choose the correct part for my mac and install was very easy. I will use Crucial again when it comes time for further upgrades.

Got it for my PowerBook G4 - it has that stupid problem where the lower memory slot doesn't work. So, I put 1 GB in the upper slot and it's fast enough for what I need. Works great!

I have had a powerbook g4 since 2005 and have been using it with design software since I got it...with only 512mb of ram.[...]the installation instructions were very concise and easy to follow.Needless to say, my computer runs much faster when multiple programs are open at a time.

Comments about Crucial 1GB Upgrade for a Apple PowerBook G4 1.5GHz (15-inch Display) System:

The PB G4 has two RAM slots, one of which apparently is very subject to failure. Replacing the logic board is one way to fix this, which is remarkably expensive if you don't have an extended warranty of some kind. Getting the largest possible RAM module and putting it in the remaining slot is the other way.[...]

Comments about Crucial 1GB Upgrade for a Apple PowerBook G4 1.5GHz (15-inch Display) System:

Im a crazy Mac user due to being an Illustrator. I needed speed, reliability, and something I could afford. I use Adobe Photoshop for my artwork, and sometimes need more than one or two psd.'s open, and before, my computer would freeze up, or take about 10 minutes just to OPEN a document (I am a PowerBook G4 Laptop user) and would take about 10 minutes just to SAVE....

After installing this item into my Mac (using the directions on another site on how to do it correctly) I found it easier and not as scary as once thought. After loading up my Mac and opening Photoshop, I saw an INSTANT speed increase in my laptop!(no software installation or ANYTHING!) Now with it having 1.5G of RAM memory, I'm ready to keep going with my career, and having this makes production faster, and saving less time consuming.

THANK YOU!

I was very pleased with the product - I had a little trouble getting it to seat in the memory card slot, but once that was done, there were no problems. My system responds noticeably faster now. If your system is short on memory, I recommend this upgrade.
