[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 784826, member: 24160"] And to verify the memory in your Machine: Hit the Apple on the menu bar, then 'About This Mac' In the new window select 'More Info' Then on the left hand side under 'Hardware', highlight 'Memory'. This will show you what you have installed. My MBP, also from late '06, can also only use 3GB of memory. I have upgraded mine from 2GB by installing two 2GB sticks. Just cause I'm kinda geeky (and picked up Corsairs 4GB CAS 4 kit for $35). Must say, that while the machine definitely takes advantage of the additional memory available, I have not really noticed any difference in my computing experience due to this upgrade. The biggest bang for buck I have gotten was in upgrading to a 7200 RPM drive. Boot time was reduced by half, and all programs launch much faster. [/QUOTE]
