always the more the merrier. RAM is good. the stock 1 gig is good, but the 2gig will be amazing.
Is upgrading the ram a simple process? In my old sony laptop, one ram slot was very easy to access, but the other required some major disassembly.
Can the MacBook accept 3 GB? I thought only the MBP could.
I just upgraded MBP C2D from 2GB to 3GB. I didn't think I'd notice it unless I was doing Photoshop or FinalCut stuff. But, the improvement was noticeable right away. Faster boot, faster launch times.
Zero pageouts, so far (14hr uptime). Did some video encoding, a lot of surfing, email - just normal stuff. In the equivalent app environment with 2GB, I had a few thousand pageouts. (not a very scientific method for comparing, but a ballpark nonetheless).
btw: 2GB module from OWC was $234.99 today.
both MB and MBP can accept 3GB of ram, only thing is that u have to get a 2gig stick which IMO is very expensive right now...

Whoa, this is very interesting to me! I heard that it is not smart to upgrade to 3GB unless you use high end apps, because you lose dual channel. But after reading your post, I might want to consider buying more RAM for my iMac. I'll probably upgrade in 6-8 months from now when prices go down.
3gb is what the MB can do right now the C2D at least but u will have to get a 2 gig stick , sorry if i misundertod what u were saying tho i dunnot know if u already knew this, just making surethey should up the limit to at least 3gb for santa rosa,
I want to have 3gb , Vista and linux in parallels at the same time....
Question - I am buying a Santa Rosa MBP when they are annonced said:All depends if they change the bus speeds on the new MBP's. I am guessing the bus speeds will be increased. I think PC2-8800 is out now, that runs at 1100mhz. Almost twice as fast as current MBP memory. I could be wrong though.
