Can I give my MBP 8gb of ram?

I have the 2009 15-inch version. Currently 2.53ghz and 4gb of ram installed

Yes. I have the same one and put 8GB in it. Works perfectly.

If you are unsure of what type go to crucial.com to see whats compatible or for good sites:
Newegg.com
Tigerdirect.com
Owc's site i think its macsales.com

8Gb should be standard now, DDR3 has become so cheap!!

They are all the same. Find the least expensive and run with it.

 

[FooArk]

[Naimfan]

Anywhere from ~$70 on sale up to to ~120 or so.

I just put this into my MBP. It'll work in yours. I'm very happy with it!
