Hi everybody, I read about the 6GB RAM limit in the current MacBook, MacBook Pro computers, and several sites say the problem is related to Leopard that is built on top of a 32 bit kernel, but, if that is the case,

how can one explain why the MacPro 17" is able to support 8Gb with no issues at all?
