I hope you didn't buy the 4GB of RAM from Apple....

Why not... It's only like 60-70 dollars more and I don't have to mess with it. I'm going to school for computer technology but I don't wanna screw around with my own. Lol. But seriously, $180 is a far cry from the olden days when RAM was $800.

Well technically it's $200 more still because, it's cheaper to buy 4GB from a retailer than to buy 2GB from Apple.

Though it's your decision; I'd rather be spending that $200 on a faster processor...

Agreed but last time I checked, there wasn't a "No RAM" option... LOl... " I bought this computer but the stupid thing doesn't work!" "Well is it slow, if it is, buy more RAM." "More RAM, I guess I just need to buy SOME RAM..."
