Who will be the first to try 4GB RAM in a MBP?

I just spotted this module on Crucial:
* Part Number: CT25664AC667
* Module Size: 2GB
* Package: 200-pin SODIMM
* Feature: DDR2 PC2-5300
* Configuration: 256Meg x 64
* DIMM Type: UNBUFFERED
* Error Checking: NON-ECC
* Speed: DDR2-667
* Voltage: 1.8V
* Memory Timings: CL=5
* Specs: DDR2 PC2-5300 • CL=5 • UNBUFFERED • NON-ECC • DDR2-667 • 1.8V • 256Meg x 64
US $1499.99
Intel says 945PM supports 4GB RAM, but it would be nice to hear confirmation from someone who has tried it.
Any RAM whores have $3k to blow?

That's quite a price jump from 1 GB to 2 GB.

Jeebus that's a lot of money for a 2GB module!

2GB total is enough for me (at the moment). I'll take my $3000 (2 * $1500 = 4 GB), and save up for a new Mac Pro.

Once these show up in stores someone could buy it, see if it works, then return it.

Won't it just work slower in the MBP?

After rereading the chipset specs, 4GB is only validated at 533Mhz anyway. So DDR2-533/PC2-4200 is the way to go.
