Don't max the ram until they fix the freezing issues. I suspect it's hardware-related and will require a firmware update, so you may still get bit even if you boot vista.

Ooops. Too late, I put 4GB in already. I haven't had it freeze yet, but I haven't been using it a ton either. I've read about some people successfully putting 6GB in these. I've been running OS X, but also Vista through bootcamp and VMWare Fusion. I'd like to put in an Intel SSD, and replace the superdrive with a 2nd SSD or HD.

So you got a new unibody one too, eh?

Hey. If you ever need to find OSX software for pretty much everything, whether open source, free or commercial, this is an awesome site:
osx.iusethis.com/

Yeah, I got one the first day they were in the store. I swapped the hard drive from my previous MBP, and never wanted to have to do that again... ever.

I was having freezing issues, as were a lot of other people (there's a huge support forum topic about it on apple's website). They pushed an EFI update a week or two back that is supposed to have fixed the problem, but I haven't put the 4GB back in yet.

If you wiped it for vista, I'm not sure how you'd get the updates. It might be good to leave a small OS X partition on there for such things.

Replacing the hard drive in a MBP is kind of a pain. I ended up slightly damaging my case when I did it. Forgot to remove a couple of screws. LOL

I have OSX on there still, I'm just dual booting. I actually use OSX more when I'm just browsing, because Apple's trackpad drivers suck in Vista. I'm glad the HD is way easier to replace in the unibody model.
