2GB Ram Stick in a CD MBP?

[BiikeMike]

So I'm looking for new RAM, and I wen't to the Apple site to check out prices, and lo and behold, they have a 2 gig stick on the Core Duo upgrade page. Did I miss some type of firmware upgrade somewhere? I thought they could only handle 2x1GB?

That's not a 2 GB stick...it's a 2 x 1 GB kit.

if you look carefully it says:

"Apple Memory Module 2GB 667MHz DDR2 (PC2-5300) 2x1GB SO-DIMMs
Estimated Ship: Within 24 hours
Free Shipping"

And to answer the original premise: A 667 MHz 2 Gb SODIMM module will fail to boot in a CoreDuo machine or a MacBook. One guy reported getting a MacBook to run with a single 533 2 Gb module, at a reduced speed, but crashed whenever there was any module in the second socket.

Ah Yes, so it does my friend.

What have we learned today? read twice before posting stupid questions on message boards

I had a long day at work OK?

So, on the subject, is it worth the extra $76 to get it from the apple store, or can I go across the street to CompUSA and get the Same for Cheaper?
