The 2400 uses DRAM. The iBook uses SDRAM (synchronous dynamic random access memory). It uses different access methods. I believe the 2400 uses FPM DRAM at 60ns or faster, whereas the iBook uses SDRAM at either 66 or 100MHz (depending on model). This comes out to like 7ns or something, but its a completely different kind of chip. It's like why you can't plug a PCI card into a NuBus slot."Andrew W.

What is the difference between an iBook SO-DIMM and a "normal" SO-DIMM and why are they incompatible? (This is not just a rhetorical question. Without knowing the difference, I'm unable to distinguish them and unable to find the proper type for the PB2400.)
It seems like you're trying to max this out, and theres a lister from Japan that's digging up the 96MB modules. Not certain, but I think he's asking $270 for them.
