The base model comes with 2GB of RAM using two 1GB DDR3 SDRAM chips. Upgrading to 4GB of RAM means replacing both of those chips with 2GB chips. If I order the MacBook Pro with 4GB of RAM it's $150 more than the base price. I'm not sure if that's expensive for two 2GB chips but I haven't bought RAM for awhile.
