Just upgrade my mbp with 8gb of ram from OWC.

review: you can do a lot of multitasking but reboot and shutdown time is the same with my 4gb.

tips: dont buy cheap screwdriver(<RM10), you will be using it only once.

my reboot and shutdown time improved a lot after 8GB upgrade

before the upgrade, my start time is around 20 sec and shutdown around 4 sec and after the upgrade the time still the same or maybe faster a lil bit. On my mbp, i dont use a partiton.

just to clear things up, my boot time after using stopwatch is;

1) Boot time: 33 - 35 sec

2) Shutdown: 3 - 4 sec
