Hi Eric, Yeah, mine is an MBP, with the metal case. According to that document Bryan J supplied it should be able to address 8GB (assuming that I can find a screwdriver). I know that doesn't exactly help you except that I think I recall that your model can address over 4GB anyway.

Though I didn't request an expedited shipment it arrived today (Sunday). Very strange, but as long as it's here I was going to try and install it. > > So I see the ten screw holes on the back. I have a screw driver with about ten bits (some of which are very small), but so far none of them appear to be taking hold of the screw. Are the screws in the MBP Philips head type or are they conventional? Can anyone advise a type of driver that would crack this beast open? Anyone have one I can borrow :). > > TIA for any suggestions and best regards. > Geoff Dear Geoff, I am so impressed that you are taking on this project! I will be following your progress very carefully. Please keep track of what you are doing as I hope to follow in your brave footsteps. One point of clarification do you have a mac book Pro? I thought you had a white case Mac Book. I read somewhere when looking at the ram on a site that they also sold a special screwdriver for the Mac book. Someone on this list will give us clearer directions but I think you will need that. I'm pretty sure I read this on the Crucial site you mentioned. Don't you love those quick deliveries? I think sometimes I click purchase on Amazon and then I hear a knock on my door, get up and thank the UPS guy for my package! It really feels that fast sometimes!
