Being a later Core 2 Duo model this laptop does look like it supports up to 8 GB of fast (for the time) DDR3 memory (with 6 GB currently installed). A lot of older Core 2 Duo laptops only supported 4 GB or in some cases only 2 GB which helps ensure they are obsolete a lot faster. Older Core 2 Duos also only support DDR2 memory. This laptop should actually run Windows 10 fairly well, especially if you were to put an SSD in it and max out the RAM. However, I am currently running Linux Mint on it.
