Well, I keep hitting the various vendor sites, hoping that RAM prices for the 1066 6GB RAM kits (for 2008 unibodies) will drop. Eventually they will, and who knows when. Anyway, a 4GB upgrade chip is still ~$369 at a vendor I generally use. I'm waiting until it drops to at least $275 or $250. What's your price point for a full 6GB's of RAM on your unibody?

I don't see the point of 6gb.
4gb is plenty and much cheaper ($50) if you look in the right places. Almost everyone on here recommends OWC, but I prefer Amazon.com and just use caution as to the brands I purchase.
What programs and/or games are you running simultaneously to even consider 6gb?

I have 4GB already. I run several VM's (SUSE, XP and RHEL) at times so being able to have my Mac (Personal) + XP (Work Email & Apps) + SUSE (Hypervisor) + RHEL (Everything Else like VIO and NIM) is extremely useful.
