[QUOTE="lionel, post: 241006, member: 19320"] When i was checking the shared memory on the Macbooks at my local Apple store, one of the 1GB models had 256 shared, the Genius told me the version of OS X it had allowed you to scale it the following way: 512 RAM = 64 Shared 1GB = 128 Shared 2GB = 256 Shared Baffles me why 1GB had 256 shared but he mentioned after 10.4.7 (i think) it automatically scaled as above as needed. Oh yeah, and they used it because the chip itself costs $7 per unit apparently. [/QUOTE]
