Hey everyone,
I have been reading for hours now and talking with tech support but I am still not sure! haha

Basically will this work in a 2 gen black macbook (2Ghz, 1g Memory)

Newegg.com - Kingston 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Memory for Apple Notebook Model KTA-MB667K2/4G

Some sites say that memory by kings does not work for 2 gen anymore, some say it does...
Thank you so much!

I see absolutely no reason why it shouldn't work.

However, your MacBook will only recognize three of those four gigs.

Ok, cool. Thanks alot! everyone else agree?

That will work. You'll be able to use 3 of those 4 GB.

Note however that you'd be paying a horrendous premium for "Mac-compatible" RAM. This Kingston kit will work just as well and it's $83 shipped.

But did you do a forum search? Or just look the the notebook subforum? There's a RAM upgrade sticky with answers to all these questions.
