6GB RAM upgrade available for non-unibody Macbook Pros

[*LTD*]

I guess this has been discussed before but it was news to me. It might be of some use to those who have one of the pre-unibody Macbook Pros, i.e. the early 2008 Macbook Pro.

The official RAM limit is 4GB (so 2GB x 2 sticks.)

Apparently you can throw 6GB in there are encounter no problems even under heavy load. So, a 4GB stick + 2GB stick.

All in the information you need is here:

Available from OWC. I already have 4GB so all I need is a 4GB module to use with the 2GB already in there. I've got one on order now. If you've got 2GB (1GB x 2 sticks) then the 6GB upgrade is available as a package, I believe.

Cheers.
