Hello Eric, Everything I've read seems to indicate that your macbook model can address up to either 6GB or 8GB RAM. Whether you will actually notice any performance difference between running 4GB versus 6 or 8GB of RAM is an oft-debated topic, and YMMV. My personal suggestion is to run at least 4GB of RAM and, if your finances permit, upgrade to a faster hard drive. Apple normally ships their macbooks with relatively slow 5400 RPM hard drives, but you can upgrade these to faster 7200 RPM drives or to Solid State Drives (SSDs).
While I've never personally swapped RAM in your particular Macbook model, I have swapped RAM and hard drives in 3 other macbook and macbook pro models with little difficulty. Here's a link to Apple's own article describing how to remove and install RAM in the various Macbook models. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1651 In addition to Apple's article, you can find a plethora of resources by searching the web for a phrase like, "how to upgrade ram in macbook." This article from about.com looks pretty good, as long as you are willing to navigate past the usual ads: http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/qt/macbook-upgrade-guide.htm HTH, Bryan On Aug 12, 2011, at 12:33 PM, Eric Caron wrote: > If I'm reading this correctly, my Mac Book 6 1, , can fit 8 GB.
