I have a mid 2010 Macbook and I was wanting to upgrade it to 8gb of ram. Has anyone done this? Apple says that it can only support 4gb, but it has the same motherboard as a Macbook pro which can support 8gb.

Thanks

Go to Crucial's Website and select your exact model of system. It will show you the maximum amount of memory that is supported, even if it's more than Apple's officially published information.

And I somehow doubt your MacBook has the same system board as a MacBook Pro. For one thing, the MacBook doesn't have Firewire, the Pro does. And I think the same is true about an SD card slot.

Hmm. Interesting. I need to look into this now
 
Ok, thanks you guys, really 4gb is enough, but I will be running Photoshop and Indesign so I think I might need to upgrade to 8gb for S&G.
