The new MacBook can handle 6 GB RAM

The Nvidia chipset in the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros  theoretically can support 8GB of RAM, but on the other hand  Apple stated that the  capacities for each are maxed at 4GB.
The truth is not out there, its right in the middle.
Chip supplier Ramjet has tested and officially confirmed that the new MacBooks can support 6GB RAM via one 2GB module and one 4GB module.

Ramjet’s tests proved that 8GB of RAM in a notebook will put your OS X into overdrive, becoming unstable for actual use. But with 6GB  it is indeed a big boost of performance: a fresh new 4GB 1066 SO-DIMM paired with a 2GB; the performance gained by having an extra two gigs negates the performance loss that tends to follow from having an unmatched pair of differently sized modules.

If you wanna go on this path, this combo will cost around $675 at Ramjet ($600 for the 4GB module alone). But it is doable !
