If you click on the Apple in the upper-left and select "About this Mac" and "more info" you get tons of information about specifically which Mac you have which can help you determine (with Google's assistance) just how much your Mac will take. Mine, for example: Model Name: MacBook Model Identifier: MacBook3,1 Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 2.2 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache: 4 MB Memory: 4 GB Bus Speed: 800 MHz Mine takes a max of 4 gigs. Some of the older Macbooks could only use 3 gigs (ie, put 4 in but have your Mac ignore 1 of them). I think older ones might have only accepted 2gigs to start with. I know my daughter's Macbook Pro of a slightly-older vintage than my Macbook wouldn't accept any DIMMs larger than 1gig. That was a bummer when we tried upping it to 4 gigs and could not. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [email protected] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
