I have an older style 15 inch dual core MacBook Pro. I want to replace the olf RAM and replace it with the maximum of 2GB. What's the best thing to do with the old sticks. So far I've come up with the follwoing ideas: throw them away, try to sell them on ebay or collect more and make a wind chime! Any other ideas?

Keep them in your car and place them under your tires when you need extra winter traction.

Sell them, duh. To recoup the cost of your 2GB.

Keep them just in case weird stuff happens with the new RAM. Also, if you need to send your MBP in for Applecare, you'll want to insert the original RAM so that Apple can't blame the replacement RAM...which has happened all too often.
