Hello there!
I have a Macbook Pro (late 2007) with 4gb of 667 DDR2 RAM and I was wondering if it was possible that it could take 6/8gb (a pair of 4gb matched modules or 4 and 2). Has anyone ever tried it? Will it actually take the RAM or will Lion just take 4gbs of the 6 that are provided? Even if it does say that it is only using 4gb of RAM is it still faster? (Mostly I use my Pro for video editing, Photoshop, and Gaming. Any helpful answer provided is welcome!
Thank you!:D

They don't make 3GB sticks. You can use 2x4GB (of which it will use 6GB) or you can use 1x2GB and 1x4GB.

You can find specs on all Apple products, including maximum RAM:
 
There are no 3GB modules. The only thing you can do to try and achieve 6GB is using a 4GB module and 2GB module. However, by doing so, you will loose dual channel capabilities which include an extra speed boost for matched modules.
