[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1154777, member: 24160"] The Core Duo machines are hardware limited to 2 GB - these are the early '06 models. The late '06 models have the same CPU speeds which makes it a bit confusing, are Core 2 Duo - my MBP is one of these. You can put 4 GB in them, this will maintain the dual channel capability and you'll notice my specs over there: <--------------------------------------------------------------------- I list 4GB, but they are hardware limited to actually using 3 GB. About this Mac will indicate you have the 4 GB installed, but you'll only see 3 GB in Activity Monitor. Same running Windows, only 3 GB. [/QUOTE]
