This is true; you'll always want to get as much RAM as you possibly can with OS X. You'll have better performance (and better battery life with a portable). But be careful to buy your RAM from a reputable dealer, as OS X is more sensitive to RAM that doesn't meet Apple's specs. BRIAN/bpearce at cloud9.net
