[QUOTE="m1k, post: 50062"] Well, I only have 512MB in my 12" PB, but yes, there will be a difference. With 2x512MB, the information has to be divided between 2 RAM cards and it takes longer to access. With 1x1GB though, the info is all in one RAM card so it's quicker. This really helps if you're running a program using all 1GB of RAM, because the program gets and stores all its info on one RAM card instead of two. It would also help to get 1x1GB of RAM because when you're ready to ugrade to 2GB, you just add another 1x1GB card, whereas if you had 2x512MB cards you'd have to throw both of them out and get 2x1GB card. So go with the 1x1GB card. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
