Original thread: Installed OWC 16GB Ram - MacRumors Forums
Purchased from: 16.0GB (8GBx2) PC3-10600 DDR3 1333MHz SO-... (1333DDR3S16P) at OWC
8GBx2
Here's hoping the prices come down over the next couple of years so that we can all jump on the bandwagon.
This info was placed in a new thread to keep the information from being lost in the thread about 8GB of ram in an older MacBook Pro.

Hah definitely! Thanks again for putting this up! Was gonna try it out at my store but I didn't have the 1333mhz handy :P

Any word on whether it supports DDR3 1600MHz? Specs on Intel's site show that the CPU does.

If you already have 1333MHz, upgrading just to 1600MHz isn't going to make a difference.

That is nice, at least there is confirmation now. It was difficult to gauge 16GB RAM compatibility with the 2011 MBP's simply because Intel's website wasn't all that clear. Now I just need it to come down to $100 and I can jump on board as, right now, their price is more than I spent on my MBP.

Wow that's awesome! That kind of memory makes a world of difference in Aftereffects and 3D StudioMax, super jealous!

indeed. it is great news. I just wish there were more memory bays. The HP Elitebooks benefit from having 4 memory bays, so you can get to 16GB for much less money.
(though I know some of the Elitebook owners were having issues with their bays...dunno if they got those issues sorted)

I have a 8540w coming and a 15" 2011 MBP coming (both by months end).
I have both equipped from factory with 8gb (2x4gb) ram and have a spare 8gb (2x4gb) ram waiting to pop into the 8540w.
If I could get my hands on some 2x8gb sticks I would pop them into the MBP but I dont have an extra $1600 laying around for that.
Either way, I am going to enjoy playing with both of these... errr I mean working ... yeah.. I bought these for work....
