The data within my Macbook Pro seems to suggest a max of 8Gb of RAM (2 x 4Gb). However, various blogs and sellers claim this model will accept up to 16Gb (2 x 8Gb). I'd be mighty pleased if it did because it's chockers and struggling badly atm with 8 gig.
I'd be pleased for some accurate advice before I buy some more memory that I can't use. Cheers.

Standard RAM:4 GBMaximum RAM:16 GB*
Details:4 GB of RAM is installed as two 2 GB modules, no slots free.

*Apple officially supports a maximum of 8 GB of RAM, but third-parties have determined that this model actually is capable of using up to 16 GB of RAM with two 8 GB memory modules.
