[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1523898, member: 46727"] Harry is correct. I owned that exact model MacBook before selling it several years ago and it will indeed hold and "see" 6 GB. I don't know where chas_m is getting his info from about it only seeing 3.3 GB? He is correct about the graphics though (Intel GMA X3100). That machine will run Lion but as chas pointed out, Snow Leopard is a much better choice. An SSD will also improve the speed if you're willing to spend the money on one for that old a machine. Frankly, I would just replace the hard drive with a 7200 RPM fairly large drive which you can get for less than half the price of a small SSD. [/QUOTE]
