I think the easy answer is no I don't think you will have problems. but it's a little complex sometimes. You should check the memory compatibility for your motherboard. Also if you have 3 or 4 memory slots using 1 8gb stick with 2 4gb stick will half the speed of your memory I think because it runs at double speed when in pairs. If you do two 8gb sticks everything will be fine but if you use 2 8gb sticks and the 2 4gb sticks you might actually hit the memory cap for your motherboard which is 16gb in some cases.Sorry for long answer hope it helped some.

You want your memory sticks to match... The theory is, all sticks should be the same brand, speed, and size across your system. Can you mismatch and have your system run??? Yes, but I'm sure you'll run into quirky problems.

yes ,,, at least up to 64 Gig ,,, you might have to format the chip after u install it

You have to read the board specifications of the board nd a 32GB memory is compatible with it. It has 4 slots, therefore u need (4x8GB).I have a similar motherboard, I listed it for sale as a combo on eBay...let me know if u r interested...thx

Hi Willy, I will answer categorically YES. But, here is a great article from MacWorld http://www.macworld.com/article/1143511/unibody_macbook_review.html where it confirms that 8Gb can be installed. On thing for sure, Kingston makes great quality products. So, after reading the mac-Article, I'm would get the memory. 4Gb won't take you too far. My macMini (with the same processor as your laptop) came with 4Gb once I ran PhotoShop I was swimming in glue!

That depends on how much RAM You get with it. I recommend a minimum of 3 GB.

@Robert, i have seen people put up to 16gbs of ram so yes, you can put 2x8gbs ive also seen up to 1600mhz ram on this motherboard.

Yes, it is not a problem, it is very easily accessible. Not sure if the BIOS would support 16 GB though...you have to check that

I have 2 x 8 Gb RAM memories installed in two slots. So far I haven't experienced any trouble.

Hey Matt I have used up to 16 gb so far with no problems. I bet you could use any size, as operationally its not different software so good luck! Hope it helps!

It can handle 8gb but needs to be matched well only one slot so you will waste the 2gb module installed.

You can put up to 32 Gig 4 X 8Gig sticks or 4 4Gig sticks = 16Gig which is what I am upgrading from because I am maxing it out to 32. Hope you understand now.

Yes, you can put upto 16gb (8x2). Also you can upgrade the ssd, any msata ssd will work.

Yes it would affect performance, it is best to put 2 of the same type at the same time in. Like running your 2x4gb or 2x8gb.Also if you are not running a 64bit system it would be useless to do it

HI, I checked my manual and it says that you may install 4 gigs in each slot. 8 gigs total.Dan

Yes.But depends on how many RAM slots you have to upgrade.I have four and have maxed out with 32 GB(8GBx4)

the "8gbs" is really just for stuff you download so unless you download all your games, it should not be a problem

i think it supports 16 gb but i am not sure i would just go with the 8 gb it is really enought to pretty much play anything, what do you think about doing with it ?
