Why can't the Macbook Pro upgrade to 3GB?

I'm planning on getting a $1300 macbook pro next to these specs:



Processor: 2 GHz Intel Core Duo

Screen Size: 15.4 TFT active matrix (1440 x 900)

Memory: 1 GB 677 MHz DDR2 SDRAM (Upgradeable to 2 GB)

Hard Drive: 100 GB, 5400 rpm

Integrated Features: DVD+/-RW

Networking: Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000), Bluetooth, 802.11 b/g



so why does the RAM lone upgrade to 2GB when the macbook pros on the apple website came be upgraded to 3GB?



i really want to upgrade the RAM as soon as i receive the macbook pro but, im not sure if i should upgrade the RAM to 3GB with these specs because it single says that it can turn up to 2GB. What do you think should i move about ahead and upgrade to 2GB or 3GB?

Why can't the Macbook Pro upgrade to 3GB?

You can only upgrade to 2GB. The clean MBPs have an Intel Core 2 Duo, which have a different motherboard than the MBPs with the Core Duo (like yours). The investigational motherboards can support up to 3GB, but the MBPs with the elder Core Duo processors can only support 2GB. Don't squander your money upgrading to 3GB...just upgrade to 2GB. With 2GB, a MBP runs merely fine. Hope this helps.
2 GB RAM is more than adequate for the MBP Intel Core Duo your planning to get. It's the MBP Intel Core 2 Duo specifications that you are looking at within Apple's website.
