    Can I use the same memory in both machines? Tiger, NewEgg and Crucial don't seem to be listing X61 memory yet?

    You can use the same memory though the X61s can use faster 800MHz memory due to the Santa Rosa chipset, but it is expensive.

    The Santa Rosa chipset does not support 800MHz memory. You can put it in, but it will still only run at 667MHz and you will get no speed benefit.
