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.

    iPhone OS 3.0 is releasing on June 17 (two days from now).

    A store employee saying that the product that they are trying to sell is better then there opponents? UNHEARD OF!

    That is the stupidest thing I have read today–and that includes the insanity in Iran. Next he will claim that you can only use the electricity you buy from Apple as well, or that you can only wear Steve Jobs’ jockstrap.

    The whole point is that Apple uses commodity hardware now (and did even before the switch to intel).

    I also call bullshit. Get the ram from the web. Just make sure you do your research and buy some fast quality ram. I’m sure some dedicated macbook forums would be able to help.

    Maybe I’m wrong, but I didn’t interpret the genius’ comments as meaning ONLY Apple-installed 8GB of RAM will be interleaved, but that ANY RAM above 4GB won’t be, no matter who does it (including Apple). Nowhere does it say that the genius recommended ordering the 8 GB as a BTO through Apple.
