Hey Folks,
after waiting for a new MBP13 for almost 1 year, I decided to buy one as my birthday present next week :)
It will be the i5-version plus a Crucial M4 256GB SSD, because I dont need too much space for programming and a short round of UT2k4 :)

What's bothering me is the RAM-upgrade I want to do. I was looking foward buying a 16GB Corsair Vengeance kit (2x8GB). So far ok, but now I'm asking myself if this RAM can be undervolted. From 1.5V to 1.2V there is a difference of about 6-7W. In a desktop this won't make any difference. On a mobile system I think 6-7W is quite a bit.

As I'm new to the Macworld I want to ask if this is possible? Any other advice?

Greetings from Germany :)
