Best RAM for MacBook Pro Late 2011? Have a Mac Book Pro Late 2011 15" and would like to upgrade the RAM if possible, what is the best type I can install and is it true that I can put in 16GB's instead of 8GB's?

Best RAM upgrade is an SSD, if it doesn't have an SSD it will still be unbearably slow after the RAM upgrade. You can get 16 GB in this machine though.

I am using 2x8GB 1600MHz RAM modules in this MacBook Pro. Works noticeably faster than the standard 1333MHz.
