No, but you might get a slight performance hit that you won't even notice.

So, adding more RAM will slow down the unit...?

no, more RAM will speed up your "unit".

No, but adding different amounts in each slot, such as 1GB + 512Mb, gives slightly less performance than two identical amounts, such as 2x1GB. The difference is so minute it doesn't matter, but someone always mentions it, so I did too. I'm weak like that.

Okay, so what happens if I install 2 gigs of RAM in my 14" iBook? Isn't the "limit" 1.25 gigs?
