You don't mention the iBook's processor, but from the way you describe it, it sounds like it's probably a G3. According to Apple's specs for iLife 08, it isn't going to run on such an iBook. Here's what Apple says are the minimum requirements for iLife 08: (from <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1010>) "Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 processor" iMovie & iDVD have even more restrictive requirements regarding clock speed. Word 04 should work OK on a G3, though how well would depend on clock speed and how much RAM you have installed.
