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 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.
