Thanks Mike! Any idea why there's a difference between what apple says and the actual capacity?

When Apple introduces a new Mac they offer it with the memory available at the time, as higher capacity chips become available they never test and update their spec. A vendor such as OWC tests and guarantees their ram to work in higher configurations. Crucial sticks to Apples spec.
