I was wondering if I can upgrade from 2 gigs of RAM to 8 gigs with no trouble. I doubt this, but just wondering.

Many thanks in advance!


Mac OSX 10.6.8

Processor 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

I believe 3.3gb is the max. You can install 4gb, but only 3.3 is recognized.

From here:
*Apple officially supports 2 GB of RAM, but third-parties have been "unofficially" able to upgrade it to 3 GB or 4 GB of RAM (it can hold 4 GB but cannot fully utilize the memory beyond 3 GB due to the same limitation that impacts the "Late 2006" MacBook Pro line).
