To find out how much memory your system supports, go to apple menu>about this mac>more info>system report>Hardware> Model Identifier: MacBook X,Y

Where X and Y defines your model.

Based on is, you might find out how much memory your Mac supports.

Sorry about that. So, yes, you can take your macbook at a apple store. There, an apple technician will explain all about.

If worthwhile you buy a new macbook, depends. What will be the main purpose of your new macbook? 'cause with a memory upgrade, you will see a great performance instead do you see now. And will be cheaper.

Hi, your reply surprised me!, i got a 5,2 model with 2.13GHz dual core like you, and is I had understood the maximiun allowed for that model is 4GB. The online apple manual says the same also (MacBook: How to remove or install memory - Apple Support)

Can you please confirm that you have 6 GB memory installed?.

Thanks!
