Only 2011 and later MBPs can take 16 GB RAM (or 32 GB RAM, if 16 GB modules become available).
2010 MBPs are limited to 8 GB.

Well thanks for your answer. I asked it because I want to upgrade the memory and install mountain lion when it is released to increase it's value when I sell it as is, cause I like to buy the new ones with retina display.
