[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1172867, member: 56379"] Ok...the quick answer (as I suspected)...is you can upgrade your MacBook Pro to 6 gigabyte. Your MacBook Pro has 2 ram slots...so you need a 2 gig stick & a 4 gig stick of ram. OWC (link below) actually sells this very 6 gig upgrade "kit" you need: [url=http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/5300DDR2S6GP/]6.0GB Kit (2.0GB+4.0GB) at OWC[/url] By the way...your computer is actually an "Early 2008" model not a "Late 2008". You will see (in the OWC description for the ram upgrade kit)...it actually mentions "Early/Late 2008" as compatible MacBook Pro models (amongst others) for the 6 gig ram upgrade. So this should provide you with further confidence that your MacBook Pro can be upgraded to 6 gig of ram. Again...hope this helps...and good luck,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
