Hi Alastair As Ronni has mentioned, yes that MacBook will (should) take 6GB, Sometimes though it can depend on the exact time of manufacturer. (I recently had an iMac that should have taken 4GB of RAM, but as the logic board was one of the early models it would infact only take 3GB). So

Hi all My macbook (white 2008 model 4,1 2.4Ghz, 3Gb ram) is very slow. The official maximum ram it can suport is 4Gb but I have read in several places that it will actually take 6. Does anyone have the definitve answer please? From experience, upgrading from 3 to 4 won't make much difference.
