[QUOTE="magentawave, post: 1740488, member: 236694"] [B]UPDATE:[/B] I got excited after reading that you put 8 gb's of ram in your 2008 MBP 15. I just called OWC and since my early 2008 MBP 17 is Model Identifier: MacBookPro4,1 she said 8 gb wouldn't work in it. According to them, others have tried installing 8 gb in my model and the computer wouldn't boot. [B]So I have a few questions, please...[/B] 1) Are you absolutely sure your 2008 Macbook Pro has 8 gb's of ram and not just 6? (I'm asking because way back I was told my Mac could handle 6 max so that's what I stayed with all these years.) 2) Is your 2008 MBP 15 an early or late model? 3) Can you please tell me what the Model Identifier is? (Apple > About This Mac > Overviews > System Reports > Hardware Overviews (2nd one down) 4) Do you remember where you bought the memory? Thanks [/QUOTE]
