yes, and this is not an uncommon problem. Hopefully you've purchased applecare and can get this easily fixed. If not, I would look on their website for a recall. (I'm not sure if they issued one, but it is fairly common).
The interesting thing though, is that this problem probably effects a lot more people. A number of people may only have one ram chip and not two and thus, would never realize that they had the problem until they tried to upgrade the ram. Also, most people don't check the apple system profiler, so they might not realize that their system isn't using all of the ram in the system. I've seen this about 3 times where I work and we have 150+ macs probably 50 are newer laptops that are reported to have this issue (I haven't been actively checking them).
