How much RAM can a Macbook intel core 2 duo likely from 2008 (2.1 Ghz) handle ?

[Krakatau]

Hi, i just book a second hand macbook owning currently 1 Gig of DDR2 RAM

Likely a model from Late 2008 judging by it specs (Intel GMA X3100, build 10K549, ID model 4.1)

I like to know if i can boost it to 4 Gig RAM ?
(...this to run Final Cut Pro X under Maverick or Yosemite)

Does it work also with DDR3 RAM ?

Thanks in advance

Max 6 GB RAM which is pretty decent for a 2008 machine.

Indeed, it even surprise me, so technically i assume some 64bit app. might be able to run !!

Thanks for the link, accurate and helpful !

You're welcome. Core 2 Duo is 64-bit compatible indeed.
