It depends which MacBook model you are asking about.

The original MacBook CoreDuo was limited to 2 GB total RAM with two 1GB modules.

The plastic MacBook models from 2007 to 2009 could take two 2GB modules, although the earlier models could only utilize 3.0 GB of the total. SantaRosa chipset models and later could recognize 4 GB.

The Aluminum MacBook can take 4GB DDR3 modules.

The latest MacBook Pro models can take 8GB modules.

"For a macbook, the highest RAM you can insert into the computer is only 4GB, and this is with using both slots that are available. You will need 2GB of RAM for each slot. Even though it is not a lot, this is still enough additional RAM you will need for your macbook."
