1st gen MBP CD - max memory?

[mark.s]

Hi,

I've done some searching and don't seem to be able to find a conclusive answer on this one....

My first gen 2.0 CD MBP is still going strong. It's my primary machine. I've considered upgrading a number of times, but can't really justify it at the moment - only thing I'm missing is being able to run 64 bit VMs under Fusion, but that's not critical.

This is the longest I've ever had a computer, by the way.

I've upgraded the drive from 120GB to a nice new 320GB to reduce my dependence on external drives.

I've had 2GB in the MBP since I bought it. Is there any chance of increasing the memory? I've read that it'll handle 3GB, but then I've also read that 2GB is the maximum....

Anyone have any experience here, and a definitive answer?

Thanks
Mark

For CD, 2gb is the max. Later C2D had the 3 or 3.3 limit.

Check the specs of the Rev. A MBP in the Mac Guides, 2gb is the Max for a CD 2.0
