3. NO..OS X is a memory hungry OS .

I would say 512 MB minumum.

You can buy ram cheaper through third party.

If you have the cash buying as much ram as you can afford is best bet

5. Mac RAM--the more the better

If you can afford it, get more RAM--as much as you can afford. I have a 15 inch Powerbook G4 also. Same size hard drive (60 gb) but I have 1 GB of RAM. You might not need that much but if you can manage it, get at least 512. Otherwise it's a great computer. You'll love it!!! Good luck.
