I bought this to upgrade my now ancient iBook g4. It arrived sooner than expected and was easy to install. I've since noticed slightly better performance, but nothing spectacular. It did the job.

Comments about Crucial 1GB Upgrade for a Apple iBook (G4 1.42GHz, 14-inch) System:

The I-book has limited memory capacity. The installed 512 hard wired memory and one slot. Consequently, you can add 128, 256, 512 or 1024. I chose the latter and it works with my Tiger 10.4.11 OS to perfection. Anything faster and you need to buy a MAC with the latest OS and upgrade your memory accordingly. Searching the Internet and performing e-mail, you can't complain with this setup.

I relied on Crucial to guide me to the right memory chip for my Apple iBook, and added 1GB. It arrived promptly and I had it installed in ten minutes. Wow! If I had known it would be that easy, I would have upgraded sooner. Now my iBook is running at capacity. I will definitely rely on Crucial for my computer needs in the future.

The Apple Store genius suggested Crucial and 2 other web sites for purchasing the 1 G memory that was the max additional my iBookG4 could take. Crucials price was the best. I hadn't installed memory before but it was easy with their good written directions and clear photos. Now online video is smooth instead of jerky.

Comments about Crucial 1GB Upgrade for a Apple iBook (G4 1.42GHz, 14-inch) System:

I looked for reviews online and most agreed that Crucial was the way to go. Bought it, read directions for my iBook G4 on the Apple website, popped it in, no problems, started it back up and....voila! It works great! What could be better? I guess directions that come with the product. You have to turn off the computer so the directions have to be written down. That was a bit of a pain. But I just shorthanded it on a slip of paper and hoped it would be enough to work, and it was. It's so good I just told my daughter to get one and I would treat her.

Comments about Crucial 1GB Upgrade for a Apple iBook (G4 1.42GHz, 14-inch) System:

I bought this to upgrade my mom's ibook g4 so she could install the leopard operating system on her laptop for faster performance, etc. I have never done anything like this before, but the good people at the Apple store assured me it was very easy and I could do it on my own. It was relatively easy to install - you just need the manual that came w/ the ibook g4 + the world's smallest philips head screwdriver (+ the instructions for installation on the crucial website are also handy). In about 10 minutes or so you can be up and running with upgraded memory!

Leopard installed nicely and even after the increased memory that it required, her computer still runs a little faster/more efficient. She's happy with the purchase/upgrade.

Comments about Crucial 1GB Upgrade for a Apple iBook (G4 1.42GHz, 14-inch) System:

I view a variety of internet content plus music, movies, maps, searches, multi-tabbed browsing ... the added memory performs and performs.
My only regret is that I did not do this sooner.
This was a great and sooooo easy upgrade.
I shopped around but the price could not be beat by much. The cheaper modules compromised performance.
I will be back!

Comments about Crucial 1GB Upgrade for a Apple iBook (G4 1.42GHz, 14-inch) System:

This upgraded RAM took about 30 seconds to install, just a simply click into place on my iBook G4 and I was ready to go. I immediately noticed the increased speed when running large apps once I restarted my computer. I would recommend this to anyone looking to speed up a slightly dated machine (mine is stock from Apple circa 2004).

I installed this in my girlfriends iBook G4 (1.42GHz 14"). Went in like a charm, worked immediately, and has resulted in a HUGE productivity boost for her. Switching apps and running multiple apps at the same time used to be a huge pain, now its effortless. It really does feel like a new computer, she says.
