What freezing problems?
I haven't heard of any.
I hope your not talking about this: Macbook freezing problem.

he's talking about kernel panics from people who upgrade their RAM to 4GB with 3rd party RAM.
I don't know if the problem has been definitively solved, but I've sure seen a lot fewer complaints about that problem in the past 3-4 weeks.
I red about that stuff on TUAW like 2 weeks ago.. apparently its solved now.. i'll wait til march, and then buy em on Newegg(I will be in the US of A in march..)I had a lockup about twice a week before the firmware update in December. I'm using the Crucial 4G upgrade and haven't had any issues since the FW upgrade. Works great.
...c'mon revB Uni-MBP/MB, I don't feel like being a "beta" tester for![]()
I've had this Alu MB since mid-October and I have no significant issues -- including the RAM one that started the thread.
3rd party RAM
I've been asking the same thing too, and no one has really definitive "yes the 10.5.6 update fixed the ram issue on the unibody macbooks"
the firmware updates were confirmed to not fix the ram issue, so I (and a lot of others) were hoping that 10.5.6 fixed it.
I've been waiting to pick up memory from OWC (http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other World Computing/8566DDR3S4GP/) since you can't beat that price.
Apple doesn't make RAM. ALL the ram in Apple machines is 3rd Party.

My OWC kit should be arriving today. I'll keep everyone updated.
MrSugar, is you EFI firmware updated? as far as i know, the firmware update 1.3 takes care of certain "stability" issues with the new macbooks. open "system Profiler" and post your boot ROM version and your SMC version.
Well, the OWC kit was installed and was bootable, so that's a positive sign.
