Updating the RAM on your MBP

I visited the Apple store the other day and talked to a genius for a while about the new macbook pro. I’m considering buying one and then upgrading some of the specs. Instead of paying the extra $1000 to update to 8gb of RAM, I was planning on going to OWC.com and purchasing the same two sticks for $600. But I learned something very interesting, and slightly disappointing.  For some odd reason the genius told me that updating will not help me because the RAM will not be interweaving making it less efficient, and ultimately, equal to just having the regular interweaving 4gb of RAM.

Just thought that was kind of informative for anyone planning on updating the specs on their mac.

* He also mentioned that there will most likely be a new iPod hitting the market in September, around the same time Snow Leopard and the iPhone 3.0 software will be released.
