I own a 13" 2006 MacBook that holds 2GB of memory and I want to know if I buy more memory, can my Mac support more?

I need my laptop for university and I want to know if it will be able to hold all my documents. Also, if it cannot support my memory needs, can I buy more memory for it?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

The Model Identifier is the information you need.


Next go to this site: http://www.macramdirect.com/macbook.html


Then click on your Model. The maximum memory (RAM) your computer can support will be shown.


As far as the ability to "hold all my documents", that depends on the capacity of the hard drive and how much space is available. Bear in mind that text documents require much less storage space than pictures, videos, music.
