    Does anyone know if the new MacBook Pros (penryn) support 800Mhz RAM. The factory RAM is 667. I'm picking one up today and want to upgrade to 4gb of ram but im not paying through the nose for apple's upgrade.

    The 965 chipset does not support 800Mhz memory bus so until Intel comes out with a new chipset limited to 667Mhz. This is for both Macs and Windows.
