Can I put more than 8GB of Ram in a MacBook Pro 5.1 I have a 5.1 MacBook Pro (5.1 Model Late 2008) with 4GB of Ram. All the apple documentation I can find that the maximum supported for this model is 8GB of RAM (2 x 4GB). Has anyone tried to put bigger DIMMs into one to see if they would work? Given the price of RAM at the moment I would go for 2 x 8GB if I knew it would work.
Your Macbook Pro supports only 8GB (15'') or 6GB (17'') of RAM.

Apple states that it's 4GB, but OWC continuously check the max. supported RAM.
