I would DEFINITELY agree with this. I just have a lowly 1.5ghz g4
AlBook, and I went from 512 to 1.5gb months ago. Difference is
astonishing in terms of speed, responsiveness, everything..

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!

You need exact pairs or it won't run dual channel.
Otherwise, you can
mix and match. Just make sure if you are using same
sizes, they are
identical modules (same fab, production date, etc.).
Otherwise you
will get system lockups - especially since the video
uses system ram.

OSX is slow with just 512 MB of RAM, and I was
curious
if you need dual channel (2 sticks of RAM) to
upgrade
the system.
I want to upgrade to a minimum of 1Gb, but I
wanted to
make sure if I can stick in one stick of 1 GB RAM.
Also in the event that I have to use 2 sticks of
RAM,
can I just mix and match manufacturers? I have 1
stick of Corsair DDR2 667, and I can't find those
anymore in Saudi. Can I just add another stick of
667
from PQI or Kingston with the Corsair?
