16 gb of ram in my macbook?

Went out and bought this one, hope this one will work?

Well it appears that you already bought them, so lets hope so.

There is a RAM guide on this site:
http://guides.macrumors.com/Buying_RAM

The RAM guide mentions that "only RAM kits with CL8, CL9, CL10" should be used. But CL11 is supplied by Crucial and OWC and these are probably the two RAM suppliers that do the most testing with Apple products.

Long discussion on RAM options here suggests the standard Apple RAM is also CL11:

The guide also suggests that 1.35V is preferred over 1.5V RAM, but the ones you selected will probably be o.k.

Mohawkapple is not the OP

Doh! (in my own defense, he did sort of randomly enter the thread, LOL)

I didn't read the whole thread carefully, but don't you already have 8GB installed? You just bought a 8GB kit to replace your existing 8GB?

I had 4gb, just doubled it with 8!

Awesome! Glad it worked out!

If its retina, then you cannot upgrade your ram, since its soldered.

If its fairly new and not retina, then you should be able too

Has any one tried to install ram into a macbook with retina, like un soldered the ram from the board?

Good luck... Pretty sure they only have 2 DIMM slots so you'd need to find 16GB DDR3 SODIMM sticks to achieve 32GB .. Also how'd you solder the ram back on? Your precision and accuracy can't be as great as their robots

Is Apple willing to swap the ram over?

No. Apple will not perform any post-purchase upgrades.

You're stuck with the configuration you purchased.
