2011 MacBook pro max ram

[Jedii]

Hii.


I've read about that they officially support 8GB, has any real person had one with 16GB working? I don't see why they won't support 16GB,

Anyone?

They do support 16GB. You can find specs on all Apple products, including maximum RAM:

• By visiting EveryMac.com: Actual Maximum RAM
• By selecting your model on the Crucial Memory Advisor™ Tool to find RAM information
• By using Mactracker
• By entering your serial number here to find specs for your model.
  (Be aware that some models can use more RAM than Apple shows. Check EveryMac to verify actual usable RAM.)

is there an overly huge difference going from 8-16gb?

Well,simply put - i want a macbook with OSX, and i want to be able to continue my Windows 7 stuff etc, which requires a lot of RAM for what i do, loads of virtualization etc.

Although i may run Parallels hmm. nested VM's etc.

I'm about to take my 17" up from 8 to 16GB...Means either selling or keeping the 2X4GB modules, but that shouldn't be an issue.

Got it. I had 16GB on my Asus G74 and it flew. I could totally tell a difference. But since I'm a new Mac user now, I don't really know how stuff compares. I did notice throwing a SSD in my MBP as apose to my Asus, was way faster
