As subject, really.

Crucial says 4Gb, Google seems to either say 3 or 4Gb.

I've got a pair of 2Gb PC2-6400 SODIMMs. Crucial branded. Put both of
them in, no boot. Put one in, no problem. Put one in with a 1Gb SODIMM,
no problem. Put two 1Gb SODIMMs in, no problem.

Is this machine really limited to 3Gb?!

Advice appreciated!

Correction. A little further testing reveals it doesn't like the 2Gb
sticks on their own. Add a 1Gb and it's fine...

Exactly what i posted about last week. Your ram is the wrong speed. Send
it back to crucial, get the right speed.

...Seriously?!

So for my HP laptop, I can just buy PC2-6400 and it will clock down to
5300 (it was cheaper than 6400 at the time), and I can do the same for
my desktop PC, but I can't with my Mac?

Wow... why?!

Don't know, but why would you want to clock your computer down with
slower memory? It would be better to stick with 2G of faster memory.
