Read the specs.

256MB of PC2100 (266MHz) DDR SDRAM (256MB built-in and one available SO-DIMM slot) with support for up to 1.25GB

In other words, if one buys it with only 256MB of RAM, then the SO-DIMM slot is empty. If one orders an iBook with 512MB of RAM, then the SO-DIMM slot has a matching 256MB that Apple inserts., etc.
What does "afaik" mean?

So, if I order the iBook as is (comes with 256MB of RAM), I'll have no problem installing 1GB in the open slot? I'd really like to turn that baby on for the first time knowing that 1.25GB RAM is installed, WITHOUT paying Apple's ridiculous RAM prices.
