Macbook 2.4ghz core 2 duo?

I found one that someone is selling & they say it has 6GB of ram? My MBP will only hold 4gb??

thank you
 
OP does the macbook have a nVidia chipset?

I was assuming that it was an older model. I might of assumed wrong🙁

6GB would be the max. It's more expensive and IMHO it's not worth it.

But if you do decide to get 6GB you can get it from macsales.com

At the risk of hijacking the thread... I wanted to add more ram to my 2.0 unibody, how much could I install while still seeing a boost in performance before installing more ram becomes useless? 4GB?

Depends if adding more RAM now would boost the performance. You have to look at Activity Monitor to see if you have less than 25% free/inactive RAM and if your pagein/out ratio is less than 10.

MacBook: November 1st, 2007

Any laptop purchased new after it's corresponding date has the ability to unofficially support up to 6gb of RAM, excluding the current 17" and high end 15", both of which can officially support 8gb of RAM.
 
Wow, I didn't know this. Thank god I didn't buy memory pair yet.

I have a question though, will Mac OS X installed on Aluminum MacBook utilize the full 6 GB memory. The MB I bought has 2 GB memory.I didn't get it yet but I'm not sure if it has 64-bit version of the OS.
