ZakuSage Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I have an iBook G4 mid-2005 update, it currently has 768mb of RAM. Is it worth spending the $65 to upgrade to 1.5gb? Would I really notice it with the already lacking processor?

If you monitor your page ins/page outs on memory (using iStat, MenuMeters, etc.), then if you see a lot of of page outs and a large swap space, then it's likely that you will benefit from more memory. On my PowerBook G4, moving from 768 MB to 1.25 GB wasn't actually that noticeable, but 1 GB to 2 GB on my MacBook was a big difference.
