About 4 GBs. 🙂

It means when the computer was made and tested Apple certified it for 4 GBs of RAM. However, the design permits up to 8 GBs, but at the time 8 GB modules were either not available or very expensive, so Apple only certified it for 4 GBs. Since then it has been tested by some vendors like OWC who found it runs fine with 8 GBs.
