Hello all--
I have the 2.16 GHZ core 2 duo that I recently upgraded to 3 GB RAM ( MA609 ) that I understand can only address 3 GB RAM even though its maxed out to 4 GB RAM.
I was therefore contemplating buying a gently used MB133LLA ( 2.4 GHZ, 4 GB RAM ) to take advantage of 4GB RAM but it is an additional $300. Since I want to run windows on VMware should I save the $300 and stick to my original config with a 3GB unmatched RAM with the hope that windows XP will do fine on the MA609 or is it worth spending the extra $ and getting the MB133LLA and running 4GB matched pair. Any experiences on this config will be appreciated.
Please help.
