another memory upgrade question

Thread Starter 
So I'm finally sick of my wife's laptop and it's measly 512mb's of ram and would like to run bootcamp and some 'light' use of 3ds max it's clear a Ram upgrade is needed. My question for you apple gurus is can her system handle more than 2gb's of ram... i'm obviously challenging the max ram statement on the linked page I've heard of people installing more than the "limit" and the system running fine. I'd like to get 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300) on two SO-DIMMs.

first of all, can 4gb's work in this laptop and secondly, does anyone recommend memory that's proven to work in this scenario?

cheers and thanks for the help!

All PC5300/5400 should work fine. It does say 2GB is tops but If you put in 4GB at worst it will not see? So go for it.

The Mac can probably only support 667mhz anyways, buying pc5400 might be a waste of a little money. pc5400 I believe operates around 675, so it would probably just downclock.
Best to go with the most compatible, pretty much everything uses pc5300 low density unbuffered ram when it comes to a couple year oldish lappies I've seen recently.
