3GB Mem in MacBook

[machurdler]

For those of you who have done it, How badly does the graphics performance decline? I'm considering upgrading my memory to 3GB, but I'm not so sure how the graphics will do. I guess if It gets bad I could just take the 1GB stick out...

For the maximum performance, you'd need to install 2x2GB sticks for (roughly) 3GB. At least I think that would still give you dual channel mode.

Otherwise, just stick to 2GB.

According to OWC, the performance hit from no Dual Channel is minimal.

We have tested 3 Gb in a Blackbook and it ran fine, did not benchmark it however.

Does upgrading your memory yourself void your warranty?

No. It's a user replaceable part in both the Macbook and Macbook Pro, and looks very easy to replace.
