Hey all,<br><br>I have recently bought an iBook (700MHz) here in Dublin, Ireland. While checking the prices on things like RAM, AirPort cards and base stations it came to my conclusion, that it's so much cheaper in the States. I'm off to New York in September and thought I might as well get the stuff there, as the savings would more or less pay for my plane ticket ;-) So.... The million dollar question is: Will I be able to use US hardware in my European built iBook?<br><br>Cheers.<br><br>

Yes it will work the hardware is exactly the same most of the time anyway just with different packaging.<br><br>Without sensibility no object would be given to us, without understanding no object would be thought.

All the stuff should work the same with the computer. Be careful with import duties and VAT, though!<br><br>Great wits are sure to madness near allied.--John Dryden, "Absalom and Achitophel"
