It says on both EveryMac.com and Apple-History.com that the 366 MHz iBook (Clamshell, FireWire) holds a maximum of 320 MB of RAM - that's the stock 64 MB on-board + 256 MB SO-DIMM.
Then I went to OWC, and under the "Clamshell" iBook category, it listed a compitable 512 MB SO-DIMM chip - that would give the iBook 576 MB of RAM - far more than the max "320 MB" listed maximum. Of course, this is a low-profile chip.
I'm guessing those 2 sites I mentioned above haven't updated their web sites, and, at the time of the iBook's first release, 512 MB S0-DIMM chips didn't exist, only 256 MB - the max at the time being 320 MB.
