My macbook is running fine, and don't really need 8GB. Well it seems that more than 4GB may cause instability in the system for the late 2008 model.

Maybe someone else got additional information? @Chris

I almost bought 8GB of RAM for my macbook unibody (late 2008 model) and found out it supports a max of 4GB. Here is a website to check if your mac can support this 8GB upgrade. http://guides.macrumors.com/Understanding_Intel_Mac_RAM Make sure your mac can support more RAM.

Also any damages caused due to the the swapping of ram is your own fault too. Anyway, thanks for the tip, just ordered mine. Have been contemplating for quite a while. @ronster

In for one.. should I keep the old memory? Is my AppleCare warranty still valid after swapping it out? I could keep the old memory and if I run into any warranty issues put it back in the Macbook Pro before visiting the genius bar. Thanks! In for one.. should I keep the old memory?
