hi welcome mr

search function of site useful first stop, have covered numerous times.

coreduo machines can accept 2 gb ram (2 x 1 gb sodimms)

core2duo machines can accept 3 gb ( 1 x 1 gb + 1 x 2 gb) or 4 gb ( 2 x 2 gb sodimms) in case cannot utilize more 3.3 gb ram due limitation in hardware memory controller - every other windows core2duo laptop.

core2duo santa rosa machines (as of today, macbook pro 2.2 , 2.4 ghz in apple line) can install , use 4 gb total ram (2 x 2 gb) because chipset has newer memory controller.
