I've been using my MacBook Pro, C2D 2.33, 10.6.7, X1600... at work a lot lately. Unfortunately, using Photoshop, opening 500MB-1.5GB PDFs, running Win7 in a Fusion 3 VM with 1GB of RAM allocated... is a bit more than this thing can handle.
IIRC, this chipset was supposed to max out at 3.33GB of RAM but I was thinking that was per application. I have 4GB installed. Activity Monitor shows it has 3GB (About this Mac shows 4GB.)
I'm pretty sure the kernel is set to 32bit mode, but can run in 64bit mode. Would that help me be able to utilize more RAM?
Thanks
