I'm still going back and forth on getting my macbook and am still not quite ready to pull the trigger yet.
My question here is if I get the macbook and buy a single 1gb ram stick, will I notice much of a performance hit from not using dual channel? I'm looking to have 2gb in there eventually, but I'm not sure that I'll be able to afford it right away. If I upgrade to 1gb on apple (not a bad price on student store compared to buying 1gb elsewhere) then I'll have the two 512 sticks sitting around being useless.
