4GB ram macbook

[drak3]

Hey guys,

I am thinking to buy 2x2GB crucial ram from OCuk for my macbook. The price came down now and it's fair I think.

Is there any benefit from 2GB to 4GB?

Will the OS support it?

Is the crucial ram ocUK sells of higher quality(and thus slight performance) over what apple sells?

cheers

I am on tiger at the moment, should I upgrade to leopard or tiger will work also?

I bought it last year around this time, it's core 2 duo 2Ghz

The Core 2 Duos all support 4GB physically. The first gen Core Duos will not book with 4 Gigs.

The pre Santa Rosa Core 2 Duo Macbooks (yours) will only show 3.3Gigs but will function perfectly. This is a chipset limitation.

At the current prices it is worth it.

This is sad

It will show 3.3 but use 4GB, or show and use 3.3?

I purchased mine Dec 2006 to be exact, which is pre santa rosa as you say?
