Can only have 2GB of RAM, what should I do?

[pizzafootbal]

I have a program, Adobe AE, that will pause because it needs more RAM. I have a 2.16 Ghz MacBook, and was wondering what I can do since I can only go up to 2GB? Is there a way to get to 4GB? Please help, and thanks

What is the Model Identifier of your Macbook under the System profiler?
Depending on your model you may be able to have up to 3GB of RAM.

According to this page on OWC the 2.16 MacBook can take up to 4GB

Yep. Just like MacDawg said, it should take up to 4GB. Depending on the chipset, it may see 4GB and only utilize 3GB. This is the case on my MacBook Pro 2,2. Either way the increase will be noticeable.

It seems some people can utilize 3 or 4 depending on when the machine came off the production line. Doesn't hurt to put in two 2GB sticks and see what happens. Better than where you are sitting now.

If you can find a local store that sells used ram and you should be able to save a lot and also test run before purchase.
