I would recommend getting the 512mb on ONE SODIMM. IIANM, one SODIMM is "fixed" and cannot be replaced later. So if you order it with 2x256, you will always have one 256mb SODIMM in there, and you can only increase to 1gb + 256mb by putting a 1gb in the 2nd slot. If you start out with 512 in one SODIMM you will always have that one, but you can get another 512 SODIMM and have 1gb RAM now, and in few years upgrade that 2nd SODIMM to 1gb and have 1.5gb RAM. (I'd love to hear that I am wrong and we can replace both SODIMMs in Powerbooks, as I currently have 2x512MB SODIMMs in my 15"/1.5Ghz PB. > - I assume that I can't buy this system at my local Apple Store, but > I have to order it as BTO from Apple Store.

I ordered mine the day that the new ones were released and I had it in little over a week (ordered Monday, came the following Tuesday or Wednesday IIRC). The local Apple store may have it, call to find out! TjL Sent using the Microsoft Entourage 2004 for Mac Test Drive. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
