16GB. But the 1600mhz will barely make any difference over the 1333mhz. That's why I'm suggesting this to everyone, it's 16GB DDR3 (for the current MacBook Pros) running at 1333mhz for only 99 dollars. I expect the price to continue to drop, because last week it went from 129 USD to 99 USD. Here's the link for Amazon: http://trdd.us/pn
Best of luck!

newegg.com usually has the best prices not to say its always the best but they are pretty competitive in their prices

The question then becomes as to what speeds the memory controller in the MBP will run at.
my bad i have an early 2011.
trying to get it from amazon since im a prime member. plus newegg charges extra tax for me since im in CA.
what brand would u suggest?
im confused, which should i get 1866mhz , 1600mhz or 1333MHz?
all brands are pretty much the same
Crucial, Cosair and Kingston being 3 of the more well know, and most of not all come with lifetime warranties so always keep your orignal or backup RAM so if you ever do have to send your RAM away your Mac still has a set to use
personally i dont see anything wrong with 1333MHz obviously those others have a high speed but Im not sure if the typical user can tell the difference
well i mostly use lightroom/photoshop and occasional imovie. would i notice any difference?
i mostly edit raw files as well.
this ram a safe pick? i dont think i would need 16gb
