32gb. ram for MBP MD101LL\A ?

Go to the Crucial site and use their memory tool to determine which of their memory will work with your computer: http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/?gclid=CKbZz87E6NMCFQ6bfgodNrwNaA&cm_mmc=google-_- us-_-dram-_-null&ef_id=WRS2PgAABPIszwtz:…

No. Also Crucial makes RAM specific for Macs and makes RAM with the same timings that wont work on Mac.

Make sure you are getting RAM that was tested on Macs and states that it was, otherwise you could have a problem.

2012 MBP will address a maximum of 16GB RAM.

Hi,

That is either for the 27" iMac which maxes out at 32GBs or 64GBs, depending on the year, or the Mac Pro, which maxes out at 128GBs.

It will not work with a MBP or any other Mac, even if the RAM specs match, because the RAM controller will not recognize it.

When the MacBook pro (late 2016 models) were announced, there was a criticism that they were not offering 32GB, even as an extra-cost option.

Further discussions turned up that it was a limitation of the Intel low-power processors being used, and getting more than 16GB on a MacBook-class machine would have to wait until Intel came out with later generations of battery-operable processors.

So I expect what you will find is that you cannot run more than 16GB in any Mac notebook computer issued to date.

However my Macbook pro 13 has 16gb of ram and MacOS Sierra ***** up 8-12gb of ram immediately

At about Mavericks, Apple decided to implement a new Memory use policy in Macs.

It comes down to, "unused memory is wasted memory".

They implemented memory compression, because it turned out be faster to compress and uncompress certain items than page it out and back in. They kept more previously read file data in RAM, but improved the ability to instantly purge that data. And they implemented the "Memory Pressure" graph in Activity Monitor.

Macs running Mavericks and later will appear to fill much of available memory much more quickly. They will also run faster because of the changes.

The MacBook Pro is portable computer that runs on batteries. The main issue surrounding memories larger than 16GB is power consumption. Using more than 16GB RAM also means the use of a larger memory controller chip, one of the fastest and hottest components inside, according to this article:

The Mac Pro [desktop] and the upcoming iMac Pro offer very large memories, and its memory features Error Detection and Correction, a must for very large memories that might be crunching a problem for days to weeks on end.

You are not technical man, right?

Memory controller included in Intel CPU for a long time.

Apple solder RAM chips due to policy issue. not technical issue.

It will a little bit suffer for VM and code developments. A little bit.

Memory controller included in Intel CPU for a long time.

The memory controller inside the processor chip can address 16GB just fine.

I believe that if you want more, you are forced to add an additional External controller chip, in order to decode more addresses.

Regarding soldering memory chips: Memory chips are some of the densest, fastest, and hottest components in the computer, after the memory address decoder. The reliability of soldered memory is vastly greater than memory in sockets.

If you want to debate soldering in the SSD components, we can certainly discuss that on its merits, rather than on reliability issues.

because the system wont support 32 GB RAM and will likely fail at POST.

Did you use their memory tool? Did the result show 16GB? If you don't believe Crucial's tool or advice already provided then buy the RAM and try it. It won't work.

I suggest that you purchase it, install it and report the results. That way we all will learn something.

Ciao.
