[QUOTE="zacster, post: 1358663, member: 17931"] I was told my 06 Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo) could only take 2x1gb memory sticks for a max of 2gb. With one slot not working I was limited to 1gb. I should have had this fixed while under Applecare but didn't. It is now long out of warranty. A few months back, while browsing this forum, someone commented that he tried 2x2gb in the same machine but it wouldn't work. When he took out one of the 2gb sticks, he could boot AND it came up as 2gb recognized. I immediately bought a 2gb stick at J&R and put it in and indeed it does work. The moral here is try it, it may just work in spite of what the manual says. [/QUOTE]
