Apple memory upgrade?
How much improvement will I see in my MacPro 2.2 going from 2G to 4G of memory, anything or will performance be the same? Cost is only $50 or so, should I do it?

Depends on what apps you run, but to me it's a no-brainer.
Every Mac I have has maxed out memory, and they all run faster as a result. $0.02 |

I'm getting 4GB in the mail today. I will let you know if I see a difference. I know it will make a huge difference when I run VMWare. I have a new aluminum MacBook 2.0.

RAM has never been cheaper. Buy as much as you can afford.

Maxed out my MacBook Pro and noticed a big improvement, particularly in dealing with photos.

MacPro is a Desktop unit and adding RAM is cake.
RAM gets installed on trays that simply slide in/out. MacBook Pro is also cake, remove battery, remove a couple of screws. RAM goes in at a slight angle, you should be able to get it seated in the slot and it will rock back n forth. Then gently lay it into place so the clips click.
