I am looking to upgrade the RAM on my Mid-2010 white MacBook. It has 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 2GB (1067 MHz DDR3) of RAM. It is running 10.8.4 Mountain Lion. I looked on the online manual and it said I could only upgrade it to 4GB but I was hoping to upgrade it further. Is it possible to upgrade my RAM to 8GB or even 16GB?
The model 7,1 (Mid 2010, White Unibody) can use 8gb of 204 pin 1066mhz PC3-8500 RAM if running Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" and 16 GB of RAM running OS X 10.7.5 "Lion" or higher and the latest EFI update.
