Pff, i think on some motherboards 8GB, but i had old LGA775 that supported only 4GB so.. yeah. Check motherboard support for RAM.

What's the model of the system? Some Core 2 Duo systems could use up to 16GB, but I've seen motherboard limitations.

What motherboard do you have. MB is the one that will limit you in terms of capacity and type.

Depends on Mobo. I think 8 but I have seen lga 775 boards with support to as little as 2gb.

Core 2 only supports DDR2.

 

EDIT: Found out it depends on the motherboard.

Many *4* series motherboards support up to 16 GB DDR3, but I wonder if its really a good idea to put another ~100$ into a C2D system if a Z68+2600k+16 GB DDR3 can often be had for ~225...
