I even called Apple they said 4gig?? Not sure where do go from here

4 GB is Apple's official maximum, which is sometimes determined by the size of the RAM chips available at the time of release.

Apparently according to http://guides.macrumors.com/Understanding_Intel_Mac_RAM 6GB seems to be the max; however on Wikipedia, it looks like 4GB is... Not sure what to suggest...more google? 😕

I guarantee it is 6 GB. I have the MacBook 3,1 (previous gen) which uses extremely similar hardware (the only real difference is the processor, everything else is the same) and currently have and can use 6 GB RAM. Check everymac.com or download MacTracker.
