alt Hacker NewsIntel mobile chipsets for Core 2 Duo only supported 2 or 4GB. And not all the desktop chipsets supported 8 or 16GB. I have a laptop with 3GB: one of the slots only supports 1GB.

It's not that machines that only support less exist. It's that machines that support more are essentially free.

Some mobile Core 2 Duos are able to use more. I have a working macbook unibody (2008) with a core 2 duo with 8gb of ram. Apple added the support in a firmware update:
