PB Memory Upgrade

[fuzzy_logic]

I just bought 512mb ram off ebay and it'll probably arrive some time next week. I'm just wondering, how much of a difference is it gonna make? I have 512mb (2X256mb. bad call, i know!) and I'm replacing one of them with the 512mb that I'm gonna receive. Here're the apps I use most regularly:

• Firefox
  
• Mail
  
• iTunes
  
• Adium
  
• iCal
  
• TexShop
  
• Matlab
  
• X11
  
• Chicken of the VNC
  
• QuickSilver
  
• Maple 9
  

From time to time, Firefox freezes on me for like 5 seconds when I click on a link. I wonder if adding more ram would help.

By the way, send me a PM if you are interested in getting my 256ram (DDR 333 PC2700 SO-DIMM). I was really stupid and got it directly from Apple. It works on all Powerbook G4s.

It's gonna help your performance quite a bit. 256MB more is a pretty big upgrade. :D

You will probably notice a difference.

Afterall Mac OS X just loves much memory! :D

Just installed my extra ram. Everything's running a lot smoother now. :p
