more memory for old Macbook?

[wannabeartist]

Hello,

I wonder if it's possible to install more than 2GB on an "old" Macbook?

Precisely, my Macbook says:

Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook5,2
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.13 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz

And I did find a table from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macbook) saying a 5,2 should accept 4GB, but I'm a little confused as it's titled "mid 2009" - I did buy mine around that time, but the copyright text in the bottom of the Macbook says 2007 - so what's the deal?

Thanks!

Download and install the Crucial Memory scanner. A foolproof way of knowing what and how much RAM your Mac can take.

the copyright likely just refers to the copyright of the design, which is the same as it was in 2007. You can put 4GB in it.

That MB can go up to 6 GB: http://www.everymac.com/systems/app...-duo-2.13-white-13-mid-2009-nvidia-specs.html

Here are guides and specs:

5,2 will according to Apple support 4GB. It will actually support 6GB (2GB + 4GB) and works fine.

If you have a 2.13GHz then you have a mid-2009

The later versions of the MacBook 5,2 with the 2.13GHz processor appear to work with 8GB - there was a thread on here (MacBook forum) a few months ago so should be easy to find.....

Thank you so much for your super-fast answers!

One more thing: the Wikipedia page says:

"Expandable to 4 GB 800 Mhz PC2-6400"

I suppose it has to be DDR2, does the speed also need to match the 800Mhz?

DDR2 seems to be a little hard to find, but I guess I can still order it from somewhere.

EDIT: Found it - and ordered
