Can my Mac take it?

[Justin098]

I'm gonna edit a 30-40 min film on my MacBook (2.0GHz Aluminum Unibody, Late 2008) for our school's "Film Fest" on Final Cut Pro X. I'm upgrading its RAM to its maximum capacity 8GB. Can my Mac take it? I currently have 2GB of RAM any I tried to create a 3-5 min video and I got problems saving it, so I'm really worrying.

I don't see no reason why it wouldn't work.

From what I remember, the aluminium unibody supports up to 8GB ram (as every 9400m equipped mac). Also, if you install a SSD it will look even faster.
