16 GB of RAM for Mid 2010 Macbook Pro?
So I have recently bought a 16 GB ram upgrade for my Macbook Pro Mid 2010. I bought Corsair ram (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233217) and tried installing it last night when I installed them I had the screen on boot up show the gray screen and the gray apple. The little buffering circle would freeze and I would have to force a shut off (kernal panick?). I then took one 8 GB ram and then my 2 GB ram (that came with my computer for a total of 10) and the ram showed up as 10 GBs. I did this method to the other 8 GB and with the same results. Obviously both new sticks work and both slots work. But what is the problem that it is not registering both of the new ones at the same time? I had researched more of this and my laptop should be compatible to 16 gb, not sure if I got the wrong "cheap" ram that doesn't work with my computer. I watched this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkVEg2X6cbo) and he has the same exact model execpt with different ram (http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/8566DDR3S16P/) and the OWC website says mine can support 16 gbs, but what is the difference between the ram? How to I get my 16 gb worth?
