You made the statement "too far gone in your Apple worship". That is far from constructive and led me to comment. Then again, throwing bombs does kick up the post count in a thread. Hence, the success of some well-known trolls on the forums. [No, I don't put you in that camp.]
Within a thread, the same issue will come up multiple times. In the case of my post, it was two sticks are probably cheaper than one and there are possible performance issues. The former comment was a repeat, the latter was actually new to the thread. There was a previous post about some Macs requiring paired memory, but that wasn't my point.

I wish you luck with that. Even if this were an option, my guess is that Apple would charge you enough for a 2X1GB to 1X2GB cross-grade that it would be cheaper to simply buy a 4GB kit and sell off the old memory. Of course, then the title of the thread would have to be Apple's Memory Prices =SUCK. :-)
It does seem that you are really worked up over about $50. $220 for a 4GB kit - $50 rebate = $170 cost to you. $110 for a 2GB DIMM. Net difference $60 minus the cost of the unavailable cross-grade option. It's a relatively small amount of money compared to the cost of a nifty new MBP.

Gracious. Profanity, vitriol, umbrage and outrage, and most of it on the first page!
Well, this aggression cannot stand.
Which is why I think I will take a seat and sit a spell. And sip my mint julep. That's a refined beverage. Not a drink, but rather a work of art. The Mint Julep
I also do believe that I will lock this thread. Civility, gentlemen. Always civility.
