Oh, and for the Mac folks out there... don't spend the money on the memory upgrade. You can order Mac memory chips online from a million different places and pop it in yourself, for about 1/2 price.Oh, this surprised me. Unless it's changed with the fancy aluminum models... the memory is just under the battery BUT you need a tiny tiny screwdriver. I had to wait to upgrade my memory until I could borrow a tiny tiny screwdriver from a friend the next day. Agree about the DYI.

Aside from changing your own mother/logic board there are a lot of updates and fixes you can make with the help of the internet.Example: Tekserve once gave me a $500 estimate to upgrade my laptop memory from .5 GB to 1 GB. I bought the memory myself for $100 and installed it in less than 2 minutes. Amazing! Its true, they charge you for something you can mostly do yourself.
