RAM query ?!

Hi guys,

I have a late 2008 alum MacBook. When I got it I ordered 4GB ram with it, Apple's official literature states that this is the maximum it will take.

My question is, has anybody managed to get 2 x 4GB modules in to make it 8GB or will the motherboard physically not take this amount?

Thanks in advance

Could you be specific as to which model that is? Alos look here:

Does this info help ?

After looking at that link, it looks like I should be able to get 8GB in.

Thanks a lot. I'll let you all know how I go.
