- samatman 16y agoTyping this from a Macbook 5,1 with 8gb onboard. Been running this way for months with no problems. Under Snow Leopard, at least, this limitation does not apply.
- verisimilitude 16y agoI should have specified the model... I have a 13.3" 2.0GHz MacBook5,1. There is some variation within the 5,1 MacBooks; here's a quote from the discussion attached to that linked article (perhaps you have a 15" MacBook 5,1?) As far as the 15" MacBook5,1 models go – The three models released in October 2008, OWC supports to 6GB of RAM: MacBook Pro 15″ 2.4GHz MacBook Pro 15″ 2.53GHz model w/ExpressCard Slot (Late 2008) MacBook Pro 15″ 2.8GHz model w/ExpressCard Slot (Late 2008) The two models released March of 2009, OWC and Apple support up to 8GB of memory. MacBook Pro 15″ 2.66GHz (All) MacBook Pro 15″ 2.93GHz (All)
