just ordered

it's on back-order and evidently won't ship until around thanksgiving. Still a good deal tho.
 
I ordered a MBP with 2gigs of Ram, it wont be here till next week. Can I use this in my MBP as well?
 
does the MBP with 2gigs that I ordered come with one stick 2gig or is it 2 1gig sticks?

I want to place my order, but dont know if i need 2 sticks or one to make it 4gigs in my new MBP.

Sorry for the newbie questions, this is my first Mac and u guys have been awesome so far.
 
I think I found my answer in another thread, It seems like it comes with two 1 gig sticks. So I need to get two of these 2gig sticks.

$80 is not bad at all....how come apple charges...$700...ouch

Apple needs the money
 
PC 5300 v. PC2 5300

What is the difference between PC5300 and PC2 5300? There must be something.

If I'm buying a MBP for close to $3,000, I'm buying my additioanl RAM from a reputable dealer. I understand not buying it from Apple at $700, but if I can buy it from Newegg or OWC for $58 per 2GB stick, I'm not going to expose myself to any additional risk for the POSSIBILITY of saving a total of $40...

And again, there must be some difference between PC RAM and PC2 RAM. The $39 ones at FRY'S.COM are PC while the ones offered for MBP's at OWC and Newegg are PC2. I wonder what the difference is?
 
The two 1gig sticks that come with the laptop, are those easy to sell at all? Im just going to have them sitting around, I wonder if I can get someone to buy them : )
