The last time this subject came up (and just now, too) I looked at Crucial's website and found that they've apparently undergone a change in policy and no longer sell RAM upgrades that surpass Apple's specs.

The 4GB DIMM I purchased from them to upgrade my MacBook to 6GB is no longer available:

Maximum memory: 4096MB

*Not to exceed manufacturer supported memory. (Emphasis added)

OWC sells the upgrade:

Time for some e-mailing, I guess...more to come.

Edit: OWC sells the upgrade to 6GB in which Bob_00001 would be interested; Crucial does not.
