Well I'm reading there it says max ram as 6GB. Rule of thumb, with these sorts of things - just ignore what ever the 'fruity' company dictates you can or can't do with the gadgets you bought with your own money - and go by users experience. Congrats !

A160 is not a valid model number. If you mean A1260, your MBP supports 6GB of RAM.

You can find specs on all Apple products, including maximum RAM:

I upgraded my old Early-2008 MBP to 6GB RAM. So, it is possible.

I went out and bought a 4GB stick of Kingston ValueRAM and swapped it with one of the 2GB Apple SODIMMS that was in it when I bought it.

I'd post the Kingston part no. but unfortunately that system is on a desk, almost 3,000 miles away, powered off.
