ok, here is my situation...

i have this macbook

i hear that mid 2007's macbooks cant support 4gb due Operation system limit to 3gb, but the spects are from late 2007, including bus speed 800 mhz and the 2.2ghz on white macbook, can i get the full 4gb RAM working on my mac?

The Macbooks that can support 4 GB of RAM were introduced in early November, 2007. So if this macbook was produced in November, it can support 4 gigs of RAM.

Plus, the rest of the specs align with Macbooks that support 4 GB of RAM (2.2 GHz processor, 800 MHz FSB, etc). So you're good to go.

No, the 3GB Ram cap is for MacBook purchased after the May 2007 update and before the November 2007 update.

Not quite - the 3GB limitation came in with the Core 2 Duo MacBooks (late 2006 models).
