Can my 2008 15" 2.2 GHz go up to 8gb RAM? I've read both yes and no, can anyone tell me for sure? The Apple support site doesnt say, it just says "no memory for that model available". Thanks!

My serial number is w8743167x91 and its an Intel Core2 Duo Macbook Pro, It takes two 667 MHz SDRAM DDR2 memory cards, and I've read that it can go up to 8 gb (2x4 gb cards), I have 2x2 in there now, can I go to 8gb?
