You've got that right.  We just got my wife a Macbook, and maxed it 
out at 2GB, while that's enough for 10.4.9, and the light usage it's 
going to get, I'm a little concerned about even 10.5.

My G5 2x2 needed more RAM with 3.5GB, though with the 5.5GB I just 
went to it is feeling a lot better.  When the time comes to replace 
the G5, I'd love to replace it with a laptop, but there is no way I 
can see one supporting any where near RAM for my usage.
