hi.
i want to upgrade my MacBook (MB063B/A) to 4GB.
this is spec of my machine:

Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook2,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16GHz
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 1GB
Buss Speed: 667MHz

Chipset Model: GMA 950

does anyone on this forum done that by using: 4GB kit (2GBx2), 200-pin SODIMM, DDR2 PC2-5300 memory module (CT2KIT25664AC667) ? what's yours experience?

thanks.

I recommend going to http://www.crucial.com/mac/index.aspx and using their Mac memory advisor tool. That should tell you exacly what will fit in your macbook. I've bought memory from them three times using their advisor tool and never went wrong.

recognize 4GB and utilize 3GB.

I've got a message from Crucial which partially clarify my issue:

"We go by the manufacturer's official specifications of a system when we recommend memory upgrades. When we deviate from them it is only because we have found, through thorough testing in our performance testing lab, that the specifications may have been too conservative. Since we have not consistently been able to prove that all new MacBooks can recognize 4GB, we don't recommend it to our customers"

thanks.

If I'm not mistaken that sounds like a late 2006 black MacBook.

If it is, it will recognize ~3.3GB out of the 4GB of ram you are planning on installing.
