Hello Eric
Gordon is laughingly saying that he'd never advise anybody to stick with
playing it safe if it will work. :) But seriously if I were you I'd ask around.
See what they say in some of the forums.

Hi Lynne and others,
No I was being specific I have a Mac Book not a Pro. According to some
info the computer can use 8 GB Ram even though Apple says 4. I'm guessing
Gordon's advice would be don't push what the folks recommend.
I would love to go to 8 GB but don't want to damage my system or do it for no
gain.
Someone on this list, with a mac book, must be daring enough to give it a go!
I'll wait to see what happens!
