Question about Boot ROM, Aluminum Macbook

[east85]

I have one question concerning a fresh install of Lion on the Macbook hardware. I am on a 13" aluminum Macbook. Will the boot ROM remain intact after a fresh install, allowing me to continue to utilize all 8GB of RAM in my machine (that has been installed)?

From the page:

*Apple officially supports a maximum of 4 GB of RAM. Originally, this model was only unofficially capable of stably supporting 6 GB of RAM, but as confirmed by site sponsor OWC, it is capable of supporting 8 GB of RAM if updated to Boot ROM Version MB51.007D.B03 and running MacOS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" or higher.

Yes, as the Boot ROM is independent of the content of the HDD, thus a clean installation of any new OS will not harm the contents of the Boot ROM.
