Chips with that?

Today, laptops are as much a part of cafe culture as coffee and panini, which gives cafevelo the perfect excuse to write about IT. Check this...ever fancied upgrading the RAM on your iBook G4? Cafevelo finally bit the bullet after seeing way too much pizza wheel...



...and got hands on with a mighty useful slab of silicon that goes by the name of KTA-PBG4333/1G. The geek in Fabio is alive and strong!

First things first, disconnect the battery and then you're ready to lift up the bonnet.



Here, Maplin's £1 multi-driver gets top marks for unscrewing the RAM plate.



Ease in the memory chips.



And reverse your steps by screwing down the RAM plate, putting the Airport card back in position and reconnecting the antenna - job done.



Did it work? YES...phew.



Worth the hassle? DEFINITELY.

We've just fired up a whole stack of applications and no sign of the pizza wheel ; )
