Sorry. I thought that the first MacBooks maxed out at Lion. In any case it's pretty old. I keep my old MacBook (2007 Santa Rosa) around, but I don't really put too much into it and definitely don't do anything with it that would require a password. It has come in handy though, such as the time I needed to reformat a drive and my mid-2012 MBP just refused to reformat an APFS volume in anything except APFS.

I suggest that you take a look at the following vendor who provides RAM for Macs and another that shows you the steps to do so.

• MacBook Upgrades (Pre-2009 Models) - OWC
• MacBook Core 2 Duo RAM Replacement - iFixIt

Also, something you should be aware of. These MacBook can only be upgraded to OS X El Capitan.

If it's the black polycarbonate shell, they're older than that. I didn't quite understand the appeal of them, especially at the premium price just for the color.

The last one was the early-2008 and would max out at Lion. Also - every black polycarbonate MacBook would have taken PC2-5300 (DDR2 667) SODIMMs.

Hi there,

there are seventeen different models sharing this model number. So making a long story short you might check out this page and follow their instructions how to find your MB's EMC, Model ID and the corresponding maximum amount of RAM.

Hope I could help
