Kind of curious. I didn't want to order the extra RAM from apple because it seemed expensive.
But I think they ship them with 2X256MB sticks unless you suggest otherwise. Which has me curious if I'll be able to upgrade to 1GB without loosing a stick?

Your best bet is either to wait until RAM is cheap enough not to care about throwing one out (in other words, 512 is under $100), or to pay the US$100 ($90 edu?) BTO cost to get the 512 consolidated into one slot.

The 17" has the advantage of having it all in one slot by default. The 15" should too--because SO many people will want more than 512. Something so common shouldn't need BTO.

Does anyone know about how to find the 1GB chips for the 15" PB? or is it even available yet?

I have seen them. I forgot the website though. Basically, from what I'm told, any sodimm 333 pc2700 will work on the new 15 pb.

1GB sticks do exist. However, right now, they cost between 4-8 times as much as a 512MB module (i.e. 2-4 times the cost per MB).
