[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1525731, member: 110816"] I've never been able to fully understand the limitation that manufacturers put down, but it is true that Apple seems to state the maximum RAM on most of their Macs is less that what it can actually take. OWC is a very reputed vendor of RAM for Macs and has done the due diligence to ensure that if they say a particular number is the maximum, they've confirmed that it is..so I have no doubt believing them.. By the same regard, Apple isn't the only vendor that does this. My Dell work laptop has a stated limitation of 8GB per Dell..but I heard that it could take 16GB, so I ordered the compatible memory and put it in and indeed 16GB has been working without any problems..
