Doubling the RAM on new Macs

An interesting discussion here http://www.9to5mac.com/8GB-MacBook-NVIDIA claims that you can put 8 GB of RAM in the new Macs that advertise 4 GB capability and 4 GB of RAM on the new Macs that claim 2 GB capability. Apparently the underlying chip sets support this higher amount and the author has contacted NVIDIA to make sure that this should work. They say yes. This is good news for those of use running Photoshop, Parallels, and other memory intensive applications.
