Hello iFixit Community,
i just wanted to know if the MacBook Pro mid 2010 would take 2x8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM. Currently having 2x2GB DDR3 sticks installed. I've read in other forums that it may work or not, and apparently macOS is very picky about the ram.
Currently running High Sierra 10.13.6 on the MacBook
Thanks!
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

I try to use a non-sales outfit for references as they are often to eager to sell you something. The best source is EveryMac MacBook Pro "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 13" Mid-2010 Specs here we also see the note which is important!
“Originally, both the official and actual maximum RAM was 8 GB. However, as confirmed by site sponsor OWC, if running OS X 10.7.5 or higher, updated with the latest EFI, and equipped with proper specification memory modules, this model can support up to 16 GB of RAM.”
@danj Yes true, Everymac is a better reference, will be the go to from now on.
