as a proud owner of a MB core2duo…
…with 4 GB installed… …with 3 GB recognized… on a MB core2duo you can install : - unmatched chips - matched chips (then you benefit from interleaved memory, a slight boost) - on all models have 4 GB installed, but on in the latest have them recognized as 4 GB, else you will have 3 GB at most (hardware limit), but the 4 recognized 3 work just fine (as I do) for core duo owners, it's 2 GB, end of line.

QUOTE (lepetitmartien @ Mon 6 Oct 2008, 11:06)  - matched chips (then you benefit from interleaved memory, a slight boost) The biggest difference would be in video performance since the MB's use Intel integrated video that takes system RAM for video use. The specific system in question uses an Intel GMA X3100 integrated "graphics processor with 144 MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared with main memory" the general recommendation would be to use matched pairs for better video performance. -------------------- |
