Damn, I just bit the bullet and got myself 2 sticks of 1 GB PQI ddr 667 memory. Install was a breeze, and all I have to say is WOW!!! The improvement over stock is mind blowing.
I did notice that be to the increase in RAM the Activity monitor shows less "usage". I also noticed a marked improvement in heat output. My macbook used to burn my nuts off, now it just lightly roasts them. But still, it's one damn hot machine. Can't use it on the lap for too long, it's more of a tabletop style machine. But all I have to reiterate is DAMN!! WOW!!! 2 GIG ram really shines in OSX! --- dex <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Just got mine too. Runs great. Agreed on the heat > issue.
