I upgraded from 1 GB to 2 GB of memory with my first generation Macbook Pro (bought in Feb 2006). I bought the extra 1 GB stick from Crucial and put it in myself. Now my MBP needs to go to repair. I have Apple Care. Will they refuse to repair it when they see that I upgraded the RAM myself?
 
No your warranty is fine. At worst you'll have to put the original RAM back in.

Before or after I send it to Apple care? I was going to send it in the way it is, with both the 1 GB that came with it and the 1 GB I put in in the other slot. Will they send it back and ask me to take the extra 1 GB I put in out?
 
You are fine, don't replace the memory and send it as is. It is a user-serviceable part that is even covered in the manual.
