OK, I did search the forum about this and there seems to be a bit of confusion both here and on the web at large.
Does the MacBook support 3gigs of RAM or not? I know th ePro does, but I have been reading that the MacBook may also support this. I have the Core Duo version, not the C2D version.
Some sites I have read say you can put 3 gigs in a Core2 Duo only, not the original.
Also there is disagreement on the performance loss of not havnig a matched pair. Some people say it's high (especially on the video chip) and others say it's not significant.
The reason I am asking now is I want to upgrade the RAM to at least 2 gigs for photo work and also some of my Logic tracks are starting to nudge the memory limit and I'm doing some live work in May. But if I can squeeze in 3 gigs, I might as well do that now, assuming a) it's possible and b) it doesn't kill performance.
