Don't know about 3D games, but for other intensive work, and I categorize 3D with them, Apple recommends the 2GB configuration.JackSYi said:How much of a difference does upgrading from 1GB of RAM to 2GB of RAM make? Especially on 3D games (WoW) on the MacBook?
Not tried this, but have it from fairly reliable sources: 1GB + 256MB will, almost certainly outperform 512 + 512. Also if you get one 3rd party 1GB chip now, and "just" discard one of the base 256 ones, you can later get another 1GB, when you can afford that and replace the other 256 one. This will be cheaper than replacing 512 MB chips...Witty lama said:Also, as a side not,
It it worthwile getting the RAM upgrade from Apple at the point of sale or should I buy a 1GB stick independently and add it to one of the existing 256MB sticks.
