Now I'm REALLY in a Jam MB vs MBP

[miles01110]

You're going to be more than happy with that MBP.

I'd Buy a 2 GB Ram kit from Datamem.com and sell the factory stock 512MB DIMMs somewhere.

It would be far less confusing if you change your Avatar, although in some ways
I can understand your connection to Ned Flanders

I would not recommend selling the factory 512 stick- Apple has been known to refuse service on units that do not have the stock Apple RAM installed. If you ever have to send your MBP in for repair, I'd recommend taking the 1 GB stick OUT first.

But congrats on your new MBP- looks like we have similar systems

RAM is user upgradeable, Apple's not going to refuse service. But you should keep the old RAM module for a month in the very rare case that you experience stability problems. You can swap the older RAM back to help diagnose the problem.

Congratulations! Viccles made the right decision - especially since its tuesday and there's no MBP update. Go pro and max the RAM, that's how its done.

Well everyone thought I was a guy but I am not A quick question since I do not want to start a new thread. My battery has been stuck at 96% for a few hours now (It was at 100% this morning but I got my memory upgraded and I guess he didnt have it plugged in) Will the battery go up to 100% when I turn it off?

no, it stays at 96% running on ac power. if it were to dip lower, to a certain percentage (i cant remember what it is, maybe 95%?) it will kick in an begin charging.

dont forget to calibrate your battery.

Plug in the power adapter and fully charge your battery until the LED on the power adapter plug changes to green and the onscreen meter in the menu bar indicates that the battery is fully charged.

Allow the battery to rest in the fully charged state for at least two hours. You may use your computer during this time as long as the adapter is plugged in.

Disconnect the power adapter with the computer still on and start running the computer off battery power. You may use your computer during this time. When your battery gets low, you will see the low battery warning dialog on the screen.

Continue to keep your computer on until it goes to sleep. Save all your work and close all applications when the battery gets very low, before the computer goes to sleep.

Turn off the computer or allow it to sleep for five hours or more.

Connect the power adapter and leave it connected until the battery is fully charged again.

do this soon and every month or two to prolong your battery's life.
