4gb.
EDIT: Interesting, I had "gb" in caps and it changed it to lowercase. In any case, I have for gigabytes of RAM.

I recently bought a late 2009 MB (see signature) which ran very fast with 2GB RAM. I sometimes use some slow, but powerful plugins with Photoshop, so I upgraded to 4GB ram and put the 2GB from my MB into my iMac to also upgrade that to 6GB. 2 upgrades for about $100, not bad!!!
I paid $103 for 4Gb Crucial RAM from B&H Photo with free shipping http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/con...&sku=583498&is=REG&si=rev#anchorToReadReviews

Yeah me and DoFoT9 noticed this earlier. Doesn't happen in the middle of a sentence, only at the start of a post/sentence (not sure which). I didn't like it so I changed my post to 'I have 4GB.'

Yeah, that's the reason I posted here. I had to see it to believe it. I have 4GB of RAM.

just giving an update here. So I recently upgraded my RAM from 1GB to 4GB on my Macbook.
I feel as if I just bought a brand new computer. Previously my macbook was so old I was almost wanting to go back to my old Dell POS that my parents gave me in 2004. (almost not quite). I also just found out, that said Dell had 2GB of RAM, doubling the Macbook that I bought in Dec 2007. AND the Dell was basically a POS when I got it, only further proving how behind the times Apple likes to be with their hardware.... Makes me sad...
But anyway, my macbook now rocks and I basically saved having to buy a new computer by purchasing $100 of RAM

Just picked up my MacBook late 2008 model and this is what shows up on my System Profiler after memory and hard drive upgrade:
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook4,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 6 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Hard drive
Capacity: 500.11 GB (500,107,862,016 bytes)
Rotational Rate: 7200
This MacBook has been excellent so far and I can also run Windows 7 Professional using VMWare Fusion with very little performance lag. Love it! The memory upgrade was purchased from OWC. I got the 6 GB kit and am happy with it. So far there are no performance issues with my mac using two different size memory bars.

I am palnning to upgrade my Macbook Core Duo 1.83 up to 2G(2x 1G RAM module)..but just want to ask if its possible to max out up to 3GB or 4GB of RAM? ((though this model has 2GB max RAM
I don't think so. If your MacBook is a mid 2007 model or earlier per this Apple support page http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1651 the macbook would be uncapable of recognizing more RAM.
Maybe it's Apple giving us the kool aid, but I don't know if I would spend the money to risk it...

Core Duo 1,1 (mid '06) = 2GB max.. any more and it won't startup.
Core 2 Duo 2,1 (late '06 & mid '07) = 4GB but will utilize 3-3.3 of it.
Core 2 Duo 3,1 and higher = 4GB and up to 8GB depending on the model.
MacTracker lists my machine that it will take 8 gigs ram, even tho Apple says only 4. I have the new mid 2010 refresh with 4 gigs ram and a 500 gig hard drive. I truly love this machine!!
