[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1721605, member: 131855"] That would be my guess. If there are four slots and the maximum memory is 16 GB then the maximum size for each chip will be 4 GB. The 8 GB may fit physically but there is probably something else preventing them from working. One of my earlier Macs would take a chip configuration where the machine could physically take more memory than the internal circuitry could "see" and make use of. [/QUOTE]
