How much RAM can my Macbook Pro (early 2011) actually hold?

I currently only have 2x2 RAM in my Mac, but I've been reading I can put up to 16GB... Is this true?
I want to upgrade to 16, but I'm unsure if my system will actually accept it or not, which is why I'm here...
I've been reading on Apples site that it can only hold 2x4, and on other sites it can hold up to 2x8, which one is correct...?
Thanks guys.
(Bought in February 2011. 2.3GHz i5, 320GB SATA Disk.)

16GB will be recognized.

HT1846 which edition of windows 32 or 64 bit are supported by macbook pro late 2011

which edition of windows (32 or 64 bit) are supported by macbook pro late 2011

I would go so far as to say there is no reason or need for there to even be 32-bit version.
64-bit has better memory and graphic handling with whatever you have.

How much ram does my macbook pro have?

How can I tell how much ram memory my mac book pro originally came with? I now only have 2 gbs left and am running out of space with all my photos, aps, videos and music. I don't want to keep moving things on and off the computer with an external hard drive. Is there a way to get more ram? My ipad has 64gbs and holds everything - but apparently my computer doesn't.

Time Machine backup disks should be external ... separate from the computer.
Several places sell external disks that are already formatted for Mac. Others tell you that external disks not formatted for Mac can be reforatted, but save yourself the grief for now and buy Mac-ready.
Buy a *new* disk, in my opinion. Do not reuse an old disk.
Some can suggest certain brand names as "better", but even the best disk-brand will have bad apples in the mix.
If any others have a convenient link for Time Machine Tutorial, please provide. I have learned enough alreay, generally through trial and error on my own.
But focus on getting that first backup done within the next 2 days.
As to "probably need a new HD", perhaps you can move enough off to an external disk. Cross that bridge after you get the backup.
If you get the sense that critical things are done first and that you should save yourself complex things like "how to replace a harddisk" for later, you are reading my posts correctly.

How much ram can my MacBook Pro 15 Inch, Early 2008 2.4 Core Duo 2 Take? 3 or 4 GB?

My MacBook Pro 15 Inch is a early 2008 model.
It is a 2.4 Core 2 Duo.
I'm confused if it can take a max of 3 or 4 GB RAM. Right now it has 2 GB.
First question: Can it take 3 or 4?
Second question: Will I notice an increase in speed?
BTW - I checked the Apple document on removing/installing memory - but the matrix where my early 2008 15 inch is covered is confusing and it seems it would fall into either the 3 or 4 - depending on how your read it.

Get the free MacTracker, it will give more accurate RAM information than the manual, as the manual get printed with the current RAM being sold, not the new stuff, so your Mac could possibly hold more.
Yes your computer will be faster at some things with more RAM, but like a car, many parts also have to be fast, the CPU, the GPU, the hard drive speed, bus speed etc.
Some things you can change, other things you can't and sometimes you need to backup your files and wipe the disk and reinstall everything all over again.
Sometimes it's a slow Internet, or slow wifi network or something running on your machine.
Host of issues cause slowdowns, this might be one of them

How much ram can a macbook pro 2GHz Intel Core i7 Handle

Wanting to upgrade my RAM and need to know how much it can handle. HOpefully someone can answer this for me

Be sure you buy from a reputable Mac-friendly supplier as Macs are notoriously sensitive to memory. Two of the best are Crucial and OWC, http://www.macsales.com
They stand behind their products, have great support, and on-line videos on doing the installation.

How much ram can my macbook pro accept?

I was hoping that someone can help me. I have had my Macbook Pro since 2006. I love the computer and for the most part, it is still running really well. Lately, I have been noticing that it is taking longer for it to boot up and slowing down when running some applications. This happens primarily when viewing videos online via Facebook, YouTube, etc. I was wondering if maybe upgrading the RAM would help this. I am not sure if I could really upgrade this or not on an older MacBook. Here is the specs of my MacBook Pro:
It is a MacBook Pro 17" Intel Core 2 Duo, Processor Speed of 2.33 GHz, 2 GB Memory. I have a storage capacity of 99.69 GB, with 23.03 GB Available. I am currently running OS X 10.6, but am upgrading to OS X 10.7 in the next day or 2.
I haven't done any other troubleshooting at this time. I didn't want to try to fix this problem blind. I thought that I would try and get some expert advice before doing anything.
Also, the computer gets pretty hot when running videos and playing games. Anyway to fix this too? Thanks!

I think you have the late 2006 MacBook. If so then:
Expandable[note 2] to 4 GB, but only 3 GB addressable[23]

How much RAM can my MacBook Pro REALLY take?

I want to max out my MacBook Pro. The apple website, and apple representative I spoke with on the phone told me that 8GB is the max. I have read that some people have used 16GB of RAM. The Apple representative refused to say that the MacBook Pro is compatable with 16GB.
Is it true that I can use 8GBx2 in my computer. If so, is it potentially dangerous? Why won't Apple say it supports it if it does?
I'm using a 2012 MBP '15 2.3ghz Intel Core i7 (not retina)
Currently using 4GB 1600mhz DDR3 memory.
Let me know!
Greg

Most importantly DO NOT PUT IN 1.5volt memory.
Your macbook air mid-2012 and on takes 1.35V memory. Will it work with 1.5V? yes and no, its known to cause issues, some serious.
MOST retail electronics shops DO NOT carry 1.35V memory. Dont try to put in memory from there. Order it online or from the apple store.
Dont make a serious mistake that can cause issues and even cause a warranty issue if you place in the WRONG voltage memory.

How much RAM can my Macbook Pro hold MAX?

Can my Macbook Pro hold a MAX of 8GB or is it just 4GB? I'm getting different answers online and I'm a little annoyed at this point. My computer specs currently are:
15 inch Laptop
MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
Got my computer in 2009.
At Crucial.com it says it can hold up to 8GB when I select my computer processor speed from their list, but I noticed it saying DDR3 (and I don't know what that means to be honest). Here's the link:
http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=7F3A5584A5CA7304
To the best of my knowledge I selected the correct computer, which I own, from their list.
Under "About This Mac", on my computer, it says DDR2 for the memory, on Crucial.com it says DDR3. As a result I'm confused and will that cause problems?
I'll be getting my RAM kit from Crucial.com, so do I buy the 4BG kit, because that's all my laptop can handle, or is it OK to get the 8GB kit, which says DDR3?
I do a lot of video and audio, so I would like to get my RAM up to 8 GB if it will.
Thanks

One more question friend....You've been so helpful
Will these two sticks work together on my machine?
2GB, 200-pin SODIMM, DDR2 PC2-5300 memory module
http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=B54C51B4A5CA7304
along with a...
4GB 200-pin SODIMM DDR2 PC2-6400 Memory Module
http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-CT51264AC800-200-pin-SODIMM-PC2-6400/dp/B001RB21JE
So these two would add up to 6GB total. Now the ONLY DIFFERENCE that I see is the 2GB stick is PC2-5300(667Mhz)speed and the 4GB stick is PC2-6400(800Mhz)speed. I understand that my machine won't run at the 800Mhz speed that the PC2-6400 stick is designed for, cause my machine says 667 under the memory info. From what I read online, it's ok to put a higher Mhz stick in there, it will just cap at 667Mhz speed? But.......both sticks are DDR2, which is right for my computer, but will the 667 MHz with a 800 Mhz be a huge no-no to run together? At this point I think that is my main concern! If I can't do this, than I think I'll have to go with the 2x2GB kit for 4GB total, but I REALLY would like to run 6GB.
Shew.... :P
Thanks again!

How much RAM can my MacBook Pro hold?

I've seen a bunch of these type of questions on here, and have gotten mixed answers. Some people say that the max is 6GB and some say the max is 8GB.
Here are my specs:
MacBook Pro 15-inch, Mid 2009
In Memory it says:
Your Mac contains 2 memory slots, each of which accepts
a 1067 MHz DDR3 memory module.
I currently have 2GB of RAM in each slot
Crucial seems to think that I can get an 8GB upgrade kit:
http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=MacBook%20Pro%20(15-inch%2C%20 Mid%202009)&Cat=RAM
has anyone done this with a similar comp? Is 8GB possible?
Thanks for your help!!

A model 5.4 15" 2009 MBP will recognize 8 GB RAM with the following specifications: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.
The best sources for Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
Ciao.

How much RAM does the MacBook Pro have?

I need at least 4GB RAM preferably 8GB RAM.... it is for school and i have many games and scrapbook tools for my electives.... please help.

Are you planning on buying a MacBook Pro or do you already have one? Apple sells MBPs (non-Retina) with either 4GB or 8GB of RAM. The problem with buying RAM from Apple is that it's so expensive. If you ordered a 4GB machine, for instance, you could upgrade it yourself to 8GB or 16GB without voiding the warranty.
So if you're buying - go with a 'base' 4GB model and buy the RAM and install it yourself.

How much RAM will my Macbook Pro take?

6 or 8 gigs????????
Here are the exact specs:
I think it's an early 2008 model (I bought it used)
Mac OS X, Version 10.6.8
2.2 GHz Intel Core Duo
Currently 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Macbook Pro 3,1
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro3,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2.2 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          4 MB
Memory:          4 GB
Bus Speed:          800 MHz

If you put a 2GB and a 4GB stick in together, your MBP will use all 6GB the same way it would use 4GB, except that there will be a small performance penalty because the modules are not matched. That will be more than offset by theperformance benefits of having more RAM, if you actually need it. If you don't need it, there won't be any benefit from the upgrade.
I read this too. I read that when you do a 4 gig and 2 gig card, your processor won't be able to work off of the ram simultaneously. The processor will have to choose one or the other.
Where'd you get this? I think it's nonsense.
Oh, and there are no 3GB RAM modules.

How many fans does the Macbook Pro late 2011 15 inch have?

Helio
I've been using my mac for about two years and always took it to maintanance. I want to know if this model has two fans or only one. I use an application called
smcfancontroller which tells me there is two fans however the left fan is the only one that works.

Here are tear-downs you can count them yourself, and possibly repair them if broken:

How do i use my imac 21.5" 2011 as a display for my macbook pro late 2011, through thunderbolt cable ? I have tried and it doesnt seem to work, neither does target disk mode.

How do i use my imac 21.5" 2011 as a display for my macbook pro late 2011, through thunderbolt cable ? I have tried and it doesnt seem to work, neither does target disk mode.
Could it be a borked cable ? I just bought it new from the store today, i have updated both imac and macbook pro to latest thunderbolt firmware and updates. Both 10.7.3.
MacBook Pro:
Vendor Name:    Apple, Inc.
Device Name:    MacBook Pro
UID:    0x0001000A17016E60
Firmware Version:    22,1

You are correct, here is what Apple Says:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3775
I was able to find these instructions, however they referr to 2009-2011 27" iMacs. I think it's the same, if it's not then contact Apple directly for instructions. If either of the machines is less than 90 days old or covered by AppleCare then call AppleCare tomorrow for help, they should be able to easily answer this for you. You will find the number in your manual or you can use the AppleCare Contact Info link.
Your iMac should automatically recognize the presence of a digital video signal at the Mini DisplayPort and enter Target Display Mode.
If your iMac does not automatically enter Target Display Mode, press command + F2 to manually enter Target Display Mode.
