[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1641350, member: 131855"] If OWC says the Mac is 32 GB they are probably right. Apple's information is based upon the highest density chips that were available at the time the machine was developed. If higher density chips that fit the machine have been developed since then that would explain the difference. The Mactracker application agrees with OWC, I'll let others chime in on whether add 2 x 4 GB to those two slots will work. I think it will but I'm not sure. Increasing the memory above 4 GB is probably a good idea.Just how much going all the way to 32 GB will make much of a difference will depend upon what you do with your computer, which applications you run regularly, and how many applications you have open at one time.
