I'm with you but the thing is first, I need to know for SURE if the
density of the 2100 SODimm's modules is too high, and second the form
factor or number of pins/connections and shape might be different. I
know that when I put a 133 Mhz stick in my old Ruby iMac it worked
fine, even though the iMac ran at 100 Mhz, and I am hoping that this
would be the same kind of situation. The 1Gb sticks seem to be cheap
for the undoubtedly big boost they would give to my aging iBook, but I
don't want to spend $250 and find out it won't work.

Can I add one of these SODimms to my G3 800 Mhz iBook? I have been
waiting for the inevitable time that people would start trying to
cram more RAM in than what Apple says you can use.
A lot of the time when Apple specs RAM maximums for systems, it is
based on RAM that's available on the market at the time the system was
shipped. Barring issues like systems not recognizing higher-density
ram (like the Lombard or Beige G3's) when bigger DIMMS become
available, they'll work.
An old example: the PowerMac 7600 says that it supports 512 Megs
maximum, but that was only because when it shipped 64 megs was the max
that could be put on a 5V 168 pinn DIMM. They run 128 meg dimms just
fine, which means their real limit is 1 Gig.
