[QUOTE="m1k, post: 50478"] It's probably better to get the 1GB stick of RAM. When you eventually upgrade to the PB's max of 2GB (Which I assume you will eventually because you're into Motion and stuff), the only RAM configuration supported is 2x1GB sticks. So if you get a 1GB stick now, ugrading will be easy, you just get another 1GB stick. But if you get 2x512MB sticks, you'll have to trash them both and get two new 1GB sticks. Plus you get more performance out of 1x1GB stick than you get out of 2x512MB sticks. Also, be sure to get your RAM from a reputable dealer. Apple is always a good idea to get RAM from because it's the company that makes the computers, and also if you have AppleCare any Apple RAM you buy is covered with it. If you buy your RAM from a really bad RAM dealer, your machine may overheat and explode and do evil **** like that :( I don't know anything at all about Motion, so I can't help you with that, sorry.
