Does anybody know how much RAM you can put into the new 2011 line of MacBook Pro 17" (Sandy Bridge Chipset from Intel)? Apple Store “genuises” say “8GB max”, but i doubt it, since according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Bridg… the Chipset has 2× DDR3-1333 ram slots (which the macbook has, too), and there are 8 GB modules on the market, so it should be 16 GB. Am i right that the standard processor in those machines is the Core i7 model “2720QM” (2.2 GHz ) ?
Really, this machine was announced four hours ago. How would anybody know if it will accept more than what Apple says. It would just be speculation and your guess is as good anybody else.
It’s been a month. Any answers?
Some SB intel chipsets are limited to 8GB (2 slots x 4GB). Other chipsets to 16GB (4 slots x 4GB) Looks like there is a 4GB per slot limitation. Perhaps this is the case here?
