Even though Mac support says it will only support up to 8GB (2x4GB)? MacBook Pro: How to remove or install memory - Apple Support
I don't understand why Mac Support would say no when many users are saying yes.

Adding to stedman1's correct advice, the best sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial. ( I have 16 GB Crucial RAM in my late 17" MBPs)

Ciao.
