Citation (musico2007 @ Tue 7 Oct 2008, 15:13)  r u saying that if i install 4GB it's only going to recognize 3GB? btw this is my computerand i'm looking to get the RAM for OWC(Other World Computing) or Samsung, are these reliable brands? This macbook recognizes fully 4 GB.Real Samsung is fine (as dane elec, MDT, gskill for example), OWC being a respectable mac centered dealer is fine too, in fact, I have OWC chips in my macbook  Citation (LPR4VI @ Tue 7 Oct 2008, 16:40) I have a MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo and it recognizes the 4GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. I got the Ram from Other World Computing and it's real slick! Hope this helps. Don't mix macbook and macbook pro, they were not created equal, and the MBP recognized 4 GB from day one. It's a motherboard limitation on MB core duo max 2 GB, and same for MB core2duo 3 GB . In fact the left over 4th GB on early MB core2duo is so because it uses the same memory addresses as other ports on the motherboard like USB, SATA… there's nothing that can be done.
