Q: 16GB RAM on Mac Mini 2.5

I hear reports of people using 16GB RAM on MAC Mini MC816LL/A.  Does Apple support this option or will consider doing so?

    Current mini's will support up to 16GB, however, Apple specs only to 8GB. This is not unusual. Often, the specs take into account available memory at the time of release, and Apple doesn't update them until the next version of the hardware is released. OWC confirms that 16GB will work in the current mini.
