You can find more information on the Double For Nothing promo at Apple's Web site. It is not clear whether or not your doubled RAM would come in the form of a single module or a second module. Apple has not yet gotten back to us with that information, but when they do, we will update this story.

The Mac Observer Spin:

Considering the fact that Apple charges way too much for RAM, this is a really good deal for consumers. It's also a great promo to help boost holiday sales. The new PowerBooks have impressive features and are aggressively priced. The Double for Nothing promo should help seal the deal for many potential buyers, and we think this is a smart offer.
