I think they are affordable.  However, I'm not sure how much this one
will actually take, if 2 gigs is the max, 3 gigs, or if it is safe to
put 4 gigs in and only expect to see 3.3 gigs.

Macsales.com says the max is 2 gigs.  Lowendmac says 3 gigs, and I think
that anything that took 3 gigs would take 4, but only allow the usage of
3.3 gigs.  Can anyone confirm this?  This is a 1.83 ghz MacBook from
2006.
