I'm quite sure of my info.
@ Jason, go thru the spec for each and every model, back to 2006 and you'll see.

I've tried installing more than 2GB on Core Duo, it doesn't detect.
I've tried installing more than 3GB on Core2 Duo, also doesn't detect.

Not tried installing more than 2x 2GB (4GB total) on Penryn, mainly cos those chips are crazy expensive.
Anyone wanna experiment, my Penryn 2.4 is ready smile.gif

you are accurate. i thought when you mentioned more than 3GB on Core 2 Duo, you referred to the current macbook alums as well, which wasn't the case.

in any case.. i got spare DDR3 1GB sticks that i don't know what to do with it. and stupid machines don't take trade-ins (and why is that? no make sense). wtf we supposed to do with the 1GB DD3 sticks? keychains? thats a waste.. could be put to better use by others.

@ Jason
machines can't take back the RAM cos of warranty issues... the RAM stick doesn't have a separate warranty, its warranty is only as part of the Mac you purchased.

Apple = quite strict on this smile.gif

The new aluminium MacBook should take up to 6GB of RAM. It should be Core 2 Duo Penryn.

from the macrumors...they recommend crucial....but forumers has been using kingston, mushkin and cosair rams....all of them are alright...

for me, i opt for kingston because apple rams are actually from kingston (for certain models)

in lowyat....2gb ddr2 667 ram currently i think around 50 + for one piece...
