sorry I got to this late, I hope you still get to read my input, one way to save a little dough on your initial outlay is to hold off AppleCare until just before your first year is up. Other than phone assistance (and don't be fooled, they'll help you after you 3 months of that are up if it might persuade you to extend you warranty)
and get your ram from an outside company. I think making those two changes you can move up with out to much more expense.

Not only does Apple charge far too much for upgrading ram, but they don't give you much account for the ram that comes standard that they aren't giving you.

edit= I guess on an iBook the original 512 is built in so that means they are charging you 150 bones for another 512. A 1024 from Crucial is around 190. Which is still high but you can shop around and find better.
