iBook is much older and runs on a PowerPC CPU architecture, and a much older version of that to be exact. It cannot run newer versions of Mac OSX past 10.4 (Tiger), and I believe that Mac OSX is at 10.7 at the moment. Unless you have a G4, which can run Leopard if it's above 833 MHz processor type.

Generally it's an older MacBook, and the OS can't be upgraded. And yes, iChat is available on the iBook - all you need is an iBook G3, G4, or G5.

Honestly, I wouldnt trust that site. usually its just hackers trying to get your credit card number..if your willing to risk all your parents money then go for it, but i would just be careful! Personally i would just get a dell laptop, those are pretty sweet too :] and i think they are only $350 for the Dell Mini (: and happy early birthday! Ha(:
