FAQ
iBook
Memory
Q. What kind of memory does the new iBook require?
A. The new iBook accepts one 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB 44-pin, or 512MB PC100-
compliant 1.25-inch SO-DIMM.
Q. Can I install additional memory myself?
A. Absolutely—and you can have it operating in minutes. Simply follow the instructions
available via the online help in your iBook system. Or, if you prefer, an authorized Apple
service provider can install additional memory for you. You can also purchase iBook with
more memory preinstalled from the Apple Store at www.apple.com/store or 800-MY-APPLE.
Q. Does iBook use the same kind of memory as the PowerBook G4?
A. Yes. PowerBook G4 SO-DIMMs meeting the iBook requirement of 1.25 inches can be used
in iBook systems, and iBook SO-DIMMs that are PC100 compliant can be used in PowerBook
systems.
Display and Graphics
Q. Can iBook connect to an external display?
A. Yes. The iBook now supports RGB output, so you can connect it to any RGB display.
Q. Can iBook connect to all of Apple’s displays?
A. iBook works with most Apple VGA displays sold within the last eight years, with
the following exceptions: Apple Multiple Scan 17, Apple Multiple Scan 20, AudioVision 14,
AppleColor High-Resolution RGB, Macintosh 16" Color, Apple High-Resolution Monochrome,
and Macintosh 12" RGB displays.
Q. Does iBook support the Apple Display Connector (ADC)?
A. No. Apple displays with the ADC are supported only by Power Mac G4 computers with
ADC and the Power Mac G4 Cube. You can, however, use iBook with monitors and projectors
featuring an RGB port.
Q. What do I need to connect iBook to a television?
A.
Because iBook supports composite video output and has presentation mirroring
capabilities, you can connect the iBook AV port to virtually any television or projector. The
Apple AV Cable is required for connecting iBook to a television, and is available at the Apple
Store or from your local authorized Apple reseller.
Q. How much video memory comes with the iBook system? Is it upgradable?
A. iBook comes with 8MB of video memory embedded in the graphics chip. Because this
memory is embedded, it cannot be expanded; however, 8MB of SDRAM is more than enough
to support millions of colors and to run the most popular games much faster than most
notebook computers can.
