How much memory do you have in your Apple portable? Just thought it would be fun to make a poll.

I've got 2GB of Crucial in my C2D white Macbook
 
I don't own a laptop yet, but I chose 2GB because that is how much it will have when I get it :)
 
Does any one now of any performance comparison between a 2Gb & 3Gb setup? I have only heard of a massive cost difference but not many comments on performance.

other world computing (owc) has this to say about it. i was thinking of upping my macbook memory from 2 gb to 3 gb.
 
2gb, seems to be the sweet spot.
I agree... the performance gain of 3 GB for laptops** (and the iMacs) just don't seem to justify the huge premium, unless you use very, very RAM intensive applications all the time... like one or two instances of Parallels along with some PRO app and/or one or more Adobe apps... then 3 GB just possible might be worth it... for most users 2 GB should be just right... :)

(**of course on my MacBook I cannot use more than 2 GB TwinMOS RAM I got for it, anyway... ;))
 
Oops, I clicked on 1.5GB before reading the word "laptop". I've only got 640MB in that one :eek:
