Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro - 2.2ghz I7 Quad Core. It's an early 2011 model.
It currently has 4GB of RAM pre-installed and last week I took it to my local Apple re-seller (Next Byte) to upgrade it to 8GB RAM (which I thought was the maximum).
I was told that I can actually upgrade to 16GB RAM (x2 8GB's). They said Apple dont actually advertise the fact it can run at this spec.
Obviously if this is the case then for the extra few dollars it seems like a 'no brainer' to do this. Is there anything that I need to consider before I go ahead an do this.
Why doesn't Apple advertise the fact you can actually run your MBP on 16GB RAM, will it cause any problems or damage anything?.
Thanks
