I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch (late 2011) that has 2 2gb ram installed. i want to upgrade my ram to speed up my computer and apple says the computer can only take up to 2 4bg sticks, while other websites say it can take 2 8gb sticks and use the full 16 gb with no issues. Is this true? Can I order the 2 8gb?
Thanks

Yes, you can.

I have 2 late 2011 MBPs with 16 GB RAM installed operating satisfactorily. The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial. (both of my MBPs have Crucial RAM installed)
Ciao.
Will my MBP utilize all the 16 gb, or should I just get the 8? is it worth going all the way to get the 16? will I notice a big difference in speed?

It all depends upon the type and number of applications you use. If they are resource hungry and tend to require more than 8GB RAM, then 16 GB will be useful. Most users will find 8 GB to be sufficient.

Can I upgrade my RAM more than apple recommends?
