[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1525749, member: 56379"] I do not work for Apple...so I cannot say with 100% certainty why (with some model Mac's)...we find out at a later date that that they can run with higher max. ram than Apple stipulates. But from what I've heard thru the grapevine: 1. It's about stability. Apple wants to provide the best stability possible. 2. The higher density ram was not available when new models were being tested at Apple (pre-release). For what it's worth. This does not happen with all model computers Apple sells. Sometimes it's found out that some models can handle more ram...and sometimes they can't. Here's another example. Currently 16gig sticks of ram are not available...but at some point in the future they will be. When they are available...folks will stick them in their older computers (if they physically fit)...and with some models they may run fine...and with other models they won't work. - Nick [/QUOTE]
