Hey y'all

Say I want to extend the memory of my macbook pro 15" 2.33 GHZ 2GB RAM.
So there is already 2 gigs of memory in there. How much, if any, additional RAM fits into the macbook?

From the apple store website: "The 15-inch MacBook Pro supports up to 3 gigabytes of RAM. (1x2GB, 1x1GB)"

The new MacPro's can hold 16GB RAM. 3GB is just a little above average.

if it's a CoreDuo (the first Macbook Pro release), then you are stuck with 2 gigs max. if it's the CoreDuo2 then you can put in 3 gigs.
