I believe that the first generation of aluminium laptops were able to have a 'max' of 4GB, although whether they removed that restriction with a firmware update or if it was an actual limit I don't know.

It all depends on which model of MPB you own. As spinnerlys so aptly put the steps to fnding this out. Only then will you know how much ram you can have.

I'm wondering if 8GB will now work with the Boot ROM update that Apple released to quieten the DVD drive. Has anybody tested it since?
