Hello Eric OK, are you specifically talking about the MacBook, as opposed to the Pro? If that's the case then yes I think 4GB is indeed the limit. I was under the impression that you had a MBP, sorry about that. I just presumed you were generalising when you said MacBook.

For example at Crucial when I run the check on my system it says only 4 gig. On a earlier thread on this list I learned that other sellers say I can go up to 8. I'd love to do that! I did more research a week or so ago and landed on a Apple KB article about my machine and it again says only expandable to 4GB. When I bought my computer new I didn't know anything. I worked with the sales person at Apple. I would have been glad to get the Pro but the sales person seemed to think I didn't need it as the new White case was almost the same. Well I know understand there are many differences I could now be taking advantage of, if I only had the pro! If it would help I'll see if I can find that article again. but if I'm right I want free access to a helpful list where people warmly give me great advice on keeping my Mac working great! Oh! and If I'm right I think I should earn discounts on helpful books like the Take Control series! If I'm wrong I'm upgrading to 8 GB of Ram! I plan to come out ahead either way!
