    I am interested in buying a G4 iBook, and if I buy it I would like to uprade the ram. I am wondering if I sould upgrade it with Apple before I buy it, or if I should buy some non-apple ram and install it myself. The G4 iBook Im interested in is the 12", 1.2 GHz, which comes with 256MB DDR266 SDRAM. How many slots does the laptop have, and how many modules are probably currently in it[?]

    There are 2 slots. Its actually explained on the config page. that 256 mb you mentioned is the ram that stays, only 1 port is available to you. That is why it can only go up to 1.256 gb ram, because the most ram you can get on one stick is 1 gb right now. So there is 1 256 mb thats there in the first slot, you can't take it out, and you have 1 slot to operate with.
