Troubleshooting the PowerBook G4 Titanium Mercury

Upgrades

There are a number of components in the PowerBook G4 Titanium Mercury that can be cost effectively upgraded.

• Memory: The Titanium Mercury shipped with PC100 RAM chips. You can also use PC133 RAM chips, which are backwards compatible with PC100 chips. On the Titanium Mercury, you don't have to remove any screws to upgrade your RAM. We offer different sizes, from 128 MB to 512 MB. For maximum performance, you can use a 512 MB chip in each slot, giving your machine a total of 1 GB RAM. Browse our RAM.
• Hard Drive: Your Titanium uses hard drives with an ATA connector, ranging from 2 to 160 GB. If you install a hard drive with a capacity over 128 GB, you will need to partition the drive into at least two partitions so that no single partition exceeds 128 GB. Browse our hard drives to find what works best for you. You can use our free guides to painlessly install your new drive.
• Optical Drive: Apple shipped Titanium Mercury machines with a DVD drive. This DVD drive is not a standard size drive, so you'll need a special bracket to allow you to mount your new optical drive in your PowerBook. Don't worry, we sell both a 24x combo drive and an 8x SuperDrive that already includes the bracket. You can use our free guides to painlessly install your new drive.
