Fracai - Spot on advice.

lhutton - You'll need to connect an audio cable to your TV from your headphone Jack. Usually a 3.5mm Stereo to 3.5mm Stereo cable. Check on the back of your TV(or stereo receiver) for the sound input. I know on my old Sony I had to connect to using DVI instead of HDMI to get the sound and video on the same channel.

I just confirmed the RAM configuration through Apple's support site and then purchased the best deal I could find for my Mini.  There's no reason the same wouldn't work on a MBP.  In fact, replacing the memory yourself is even easier on a MBP since all you need to do is open up the memory door on the bottom of the laptop.  Ifixit.com has a variety of pointers, and I'm sure that MyService will probably have competitive pricing on mac memory.

One caveat: you should make sure that whatever website you purchase from guarantees compatibility for your system. http://crucial.com/mac is a good place to start.  They have a downloadable tool that scans your system directly in order to find the right memory for your system.  Crucial is an extremely dependable company for memory, as well, but expect to pay a little bit more for that guarantee.

Thanks to everyone who posted a response to my memory issue.

Regarding the audio issue, that was the first thing I did. I have an audio cable plugged into the back of my receiver that i use for my iphone when I want to play music; works fine. I plug that same cable into the headphone jack of my laptop; no audio????

Do you get audio when plug in headphones to your laptop? If so, the issue may be that the video and audio aren't on the same channel on your receiver. If not, there may be an issue with the sound card (DC-in) on your MacBook.
