There are a few threads about this on here.
I have a 5,1 2.8ghz model (first unibody model with bto processor, late 2008). I put 2x4gb in it last week and it works fine.
Some say it works, some say it doesn't. It works in mine. RAM was from www.crucial.com. Bargain.

According to that link, MacBookPro5,1 can support 8 GB given you have the appropriate EFI Firmware.
Good luck!
