[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1489450, member: 56379"] Yes your MacBook can have up to 16gig of ram installed. Sometimes with some model computers...the actual max. ram is higher than Apple states. As far as the the Crucial ram you linked...it may not be the correct ram (it may not be compatible). You need PC3-8500 DDR3 ram...your link is for PC3-10600 DDR3. I also used Crucial's "Memory Finder Tool"...and it's not listing any ram upgrades past 4gig for your computer model. We also recommend folks purchase ram from OWC...and here are the ram upgrades they sell for your computer (4, 6, 8, and 16gig kits): [url=http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_White]Apple MacBook Unibody 2.4GHz 2.26GHz Memory up to 16 GB of Ram | Hard Drive Upgrade and Video Installation Guide[/url] Since you're in the UK...there may be some extra costs ordering from OWC...but we do have folks from all over the world ordering from them. Of course if you can find the correct ram you need via the "UK Crucial website"...that would work as well. It's just that Crucial's "Memory tool" doesn't list any ram upgrades past 4gig...so you REALLY need to be careful when ordering from Crucial if you want more than a 4gig ram upgrade.
