4gb or 2gb RAM with new MBP?

[neilr1967]

I ultimately need 4gb RAM with the MBP that I am going to order today. I know that it is a price premium in getting extra RAM from Apple on initial order. My question is: Can I get compatible RAM for the new MBPs now? Is it the same RAM as past generation?

Still the same as far as im aware

Same RAM-Mems as before! 667

It's almost certainly the same. You might just want to hold off on ordering the RAM for a few days to confirm that (but go ahead and order your notebook). And it's a very easy upgrade to do yourself.

Great....i was hoping that was the case. So my assumption is that it is foolish to get a 4gb version as long as you are comofortable replacing RAM. Which I have done before on other machines.

$400 from Apple
$100 from 3rd party

and to answer the other "Neil's" question...1967 is the year I was born.
