Go to newegg.com, they have a mac memory section and they usually have the best prices.

I was told if I want to upgrade from 1GB -> 2GB of RAM, i'd have to sacrifice my 2x500MB for 2x1GB sticks as the MacBook only has 2 RAM slots?

I've never ripped her open so don't know 100%, but is this true?

Thats true. I have a macbook that I upgraded the ram in. To get to the ram slots pull the battery off and remove the screws from the white plastic molding. Good luck!

Note, there are many tutorials online (even YouTube videos). Don't sweat the installation.

Sacrificing my 2x512MB sticks is deterring me from upgrading.

I think i'll just stick with my 1GB RAM, it's all I need for now.
