I have a late 2008 MacBook 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running 4Gb RAM which Apple states is the max, I read 8Gb is possible... will this work?

I am running a late '08 15" 2.4GHz and am running 8GB, so yes it is possible to run 8GB of memory. Apple came out with a firmware update after release, but never updated the specs to reflect the new maximum memory capability.

The specs I've read for your model computer suggest that RAM maximum is 16 GB, although Apple only recommends 8 GB maximum.

I don't think so. I used this ram in a 2011 Mac mini which has a max memory of 8 gb. My 2010 MacBook that I upgraded had a max memory of 4 gb so I doubt that a 2008 MacBook would be compatible with this much ram.

I have a White Macbook 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. It's running 10.6.8. I think it's an early 2008.

Yes the crucial ram 8gb will work in your macbook it should give you a nice performance boost, in addition I would add in a ssd drive and really gain a performance boost.

It did not work for me, I believe the memory has to DDR3 10,600 to have 16gb working in the mid 2010 13" Macbook Pro, I could get up 10Gb using one stick of the 1333Mhz memory with one stick of the 10600mhz memory, I have also found at least one other person on the internet reporting a problem with the 1333mhz memory.

I believe it should. Verify that on your computer by going to "About This Mac" -> "More info..." -> "Memory" -> "Memory Upgrade Instructions." Following that thread should lead you to info on your max RAM, the number of pins, etc., so that you can purchase what works best for you. My laptop maxes out at 4gigs so I bought the 2x2 package.

There is a page on Apple's website that may answer you question (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270?viewlocale=en_US#link1). Your Mac does not support 16GB of RAM, though 8GB are enough to run both these programs smoothly. This memory is not the right choice for your Mac, as it is (PC3 - 12800), and your Mac requires (PC3 - 8500).I've already searched the one that is just right, which is in this link: Crucial 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3/DDR3L 1066 MT/s (PC3-8500) SODIMM 204-Pin Mac Memory CT2K4G3S1067M / CT2C4G3S1067M

This model can use 2 sticks of 4GB 1067MHz (8GB total) of RAM. I used the Kingston 1066MHz modules in a friend's MacBook & it worked perfectly. I like Kingston & put an 8GB set in my new 2012 Mac mini.

Yes, you should be good to go. I originally had a 2gb, but upgraded my memory to 8gb. The memory should have nothing to do with the screen. So long as you have the unibody aluminum 13" Macbook, you should be fine.

My Dell E6400 has the same cpu series...Core 2 Duo. However this memory did not work in my laptop. After installing the memory my machine wouldn't reboot with this memory installed. After reinstalling the original memory it worked just fine. I would check the Apple website and see what memory is a known good choice for your Macbook. Most manufacturers of laptops and computers post memory that is a known compatible choice. I feel like you are gambling with a hit or miss situation trying this memory. Good luck !!

I upgraded my ram to 2GB right after I got this MacBook, it is cheaper to upgrade by yourself, mine only cost $60 for 2GB ram. If you bought from mac, would be $150 more..It is also super EASY to install the ram anyway...I'm a girl, I did it very easily. I have been using the new ran for couple months and does not have any problems.

For the Mac, more than the minimum 2GHz processor and 2GB of RAM specified in the operating manual. It does not run with the minimum!

it might be a bit of an overkill - this RAM overclocks to 1600MHz and max that your Mac supports is 1333MHz.

I have the same question but it seems there's no way to configure Mac with 8G of memory. Hmmm..

I use a MacBook Pro with i7 2.3 GHZ processor and 8GB of RAM. I use it as a plug-in with Pro Tools and rarely have any problems or freezes. NI recommends at least an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and at least 4GB of RAM.

Yes this is true i have this RAM installed in my macbook pro 2011. 8gb is really all you need. You will see a big difference
