Can anyone point me to a place/person selling 4gb memory for a MacBook 4,1. OK with used as new is not cost efficient.
 
eBay. Otherwise sometimes Amazon has some good sales.

Just make sure the listing specifically mentions compatibility with your 2008 polycarbonate MacBook.

I’m curious though. What OS are you running? I retired my MacBook4,1 years ago since it was officially stuck on too old an OS version, and newer version were problematic on it.

Im running MXLinux. Runs fine but I have a mismatched set of 2gb sticks therefore I only see 3gb ram.

Ah, I see. I had ubuntu on mine for a while, but then I switched to Chrome OS. Unfortunately, I get WiFi flakiness with this setup, which is definitely not a hardware issue since WiFi works perfectly in OS X. Also, the camera doesn’t work.

Those 4gb sticks are a deal breaker! Too expensive in relation to the value of the machine.
