Welcome to the Apple Support Communities

The Mid 2012 15-inch MacBook Pro supports 8 GB of memory officially, but you can install 16 GB of memory (2x8 GB) without any problem. You can buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC).

If you need help installing the memory, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1270
