I'm having trouble determining if I can upgrade my MacBook. On the tech specs page, it seems to indicate that only the aluminum MacBooks can be upgraded (along with Mbp, Mb Air, Mb Mini, and iMac). I bought my MacBook in February, 2011. I've got a 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Dup processor. Am I okay? Christine On Jul 25, 2012, at 1:57 PM, Daniel Miller wrote:
