Updating 1st gen core duo mb

[Whackintosh]

I have a 1st generation core duo whitebook from 2006 running with 1 gb of ram. I would like to max out the ram but was wondering what the maximum ram capacity actually is in these models.

It's 2Gb.

Thanks. I see we have the same machine!

Am I correct in assuming that there is no limit to the hdd size that I can put in, provided that its a mobile hdd like, for example, the WD Scorpio?

Correct you are. The MacBook will handle any 2.5" SATA drive.

Correct you are. The MacBook will handle any 2.5" SATA drive.

Just be sure to choose a drive with a height of 9,5 mm.

Which would exclude Hitachi's 500 gb drive.

I should have said "any standard-sized 2.5" SATA drive"...

My current favourite is the 500GB WD Scorpio, but I've been a WD fan for quite some time now...
