Hi Alastair,
Maximum Memory: 6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots: 2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
It can take 6GB... but there are NO 3GB RAM modules.
As general guidelines for optimum performance, it's usually best to make sure
your Mac has the same amount of RAM in each

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
Thanks very much Daniel - I'll take that as the casting vote in favour of 6gb.
Is there a way of telling whether mine was early in the run or not?
best

Um, you can tell my the serial number I believe. Otherwise it's a bit of a hit
and miss. Just trial and error really.
Happy to supply the RAM if you want, if you don't have someone else you're
getting it through or preferred supply.
Feel free to email me off list if I can help. Can order it in
Similar vintage to my MacBookPro, which is running with 6gB after Daniel's
upgrade. Very happy. Thank you Daniel!
Also, Memory cleaner app might be worth investigating, gives live memory
availability readout up near your clock and if run, after closing apps can free
up memory.

Well, not exactly... I don't recommend using
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.
