Yep! They now have an 8GB kit for under $350. Get it under $200 and people will start buying it.

Rebooted into Windows Vista x64 Business, SP1 native. So far, the system runs great. Boot time has dramatically increased in Vista. System score dropped to 4.8 (from 5.1) due to lack of Dual Channel. However, it doesn't seem like it has effected much of anything else.
Running Civ4: Colonization, alt tabbing in and out seems smooth, less lag, and yadada.
If anyone else have a program or whatnot for me to test, I'd be glad to. Just tell me which program and if I have it (or if its downloadible) I'll test and be glad to give you the results.
Btw, whats Print Screen on the Mac Keyboard in windows? or is there one?
I know it's a very long read, but, read this thread if you have the time..

that guy also installed a 4gb stick bringing his MBP total to 6gb, just like you. The interesting part of this, somewhere in the middle of that thread, is that some guys gave him a code to run to test the memory, you could try that also if you have the time.
Some more results:

I can now run Assassin's Creed at 4/4 Detail with absolutely 0 lag whatsoever. I'm not sure why because upping the ram shouldn't improve FPS. This is not a valid sign that more ram = more fps, its just from what occured. Loading Assassin's Creed used to take 20 seconds from 1% to 100%. Now, its close to 2 seconds from 1% to 100% load.
Sins of a Solar Empire improved on FPS. All "High" details running on native resolution.
Edit: CoD4 on all High has improved on FPS also. Even with Sins of a Solar Empire and Civ4 Colonization running in the background, I still have 1097 MB of free (not cached) ram according to Vista's Task Manager.
I assume only SR and later MBP 2.2, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 support 8GB. The C2D 2.16 & 2.33 are limited to 4GB by the chipset, correct?
Cheers,
I wonder if the newer version of OS X seems to be allowing you to access more RAM. It's a big step up.
The outlook is good though.![]()
Snow Leopard supports up to 16TB of RAM, which is good, because I hope anyone isn't planning to shoehorn that into a MacBook Pro (with Leopard.)
DDR3-1066 looks like the Montevina standard. Who knows if the nVidia MCP79A will show up.With the new MB and MBP a few weeks off I am going to hold on until they are released, depending on the specs I might upgrade the memory or upgrade the laptop (I lease my equipment).
But thanks for all the help![]()

I'd just get the cheapest 4 GB KIt that you can find.Hi Guys was wondering if the Kingston Hyper X will make a large difference on my Pre-Santa Rosa MBP compared to using Corsair Value RAM?

I do have photoshop installed, both CS3 and CS4 beta. However, I'm not extremely good with them so I'll need some instructions.
Current state, I've booted up Windows Vista Business, x64 SP1 via Boot Camp Partition in VMWare Fusion 2. Allocated 4GB to virtual machine and left 2GB for OSX. So far, the boot speed for Vista is slow (well obviously) but VMWare actually take a bit of time to allocate the physical memory. However, the system does start up, virtual machine does read 4GB and activity monitor states 4GB is used to VMWare.
Here's a screenie for you guys.
