I have had this 16GB of memory in my MBP for 7 days now. My MBP has been ran like I typically do for 15 to 16 hours a day all without a single problem. 10's of hours of video has been edited through it, in addition to web surfing, playing music, photoshop, Word, Excel, IM and FTP all without a hitch. I am running a Momentux XT Hybrid drive and since adding this memory I have not really seen any beach balls and defiantly no freezes or lag.
Got a tip for us?

I know I posted before but now after a week or so of use I would never go back to anything less than 16GB.
Everything is much, much faster. Lion is as fast as a new install of SL back in the day.
I have no lag or beach ball visits. I only seem some minor page outs when I really, really push the system with multiple VMs, Eclipse, Photoshop, Office, Xcode, and some other apps running.
For the price, I think even moderate users should upgrade for the performance perk.
I would add this to my Xmas list if you haven't done so yet.

No doubt this is a KILLER DEAL: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233216
But it shouldn't be long before it's $89.99 for the whole 16 GB of RAM

the price keeps changing on the 8 and 16 like crazy, last night it was 90 now this morning its 110!, wishing now I had ordered it last night
Theres no such thing as a 16gb stick made for notebooks for consumers.
2x8gb = 16gb is your max (assuming that you have 2 ram slots and may use 8gb each)
For 96.99 or $76.99 after MIR, you can get a 8gb stick here
Has anyone tried doubling up on this deal and sticking 32GB in the 2011 iMac since according to OWC it can handle 32GB?
32GB is known to be supported from companies like OWC and actually Everymac confirms that specifically on this page; http://www.everymac.com/systems/app...inch-aluminum-mid-2011-thunderbolt-specs.html
My actual question was has anyone tried it with this specific brand of ram.
fyi newegg has another one now which is only 170 after the 30 mail in rebate I put it in mine this morning and its working perfectly thus far I ran memory tests with tech tool pro and everything passed without problems
now using photoshop / LR is not paging because before it was consuming more than the 8GB

There's really not too much difference in ram anymore, so unless you have bad chips, it will work.
Frys has 1x8GB Corsair for $79.99 now (one per customer limit, so bring a friend).

hey bruvs thx for the link. i managed to order two in a single transaction. i did see a note regarding one per customer, but it was in reference to HDDs, due to Thailand flooding / limited availability..
ymmv
