I had no issues with running 4 sticks with no special "matching" and the computer recognizes and runs them at full speed. Then again this isn't over-clocked, low latency gaming RAM like Ballistix or Vengeance.



16 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 Crucial (Micron-branded | detected as manufacturer 0x802C) memory modules that worked immediately with my 15" mid-2012 non-Retina MacBook Pro. Apple doesn't support more than 8GB, but this is working proof it does work in an unsupported config and it works very well. I do a lot of work with VMWare Fusion (multiple virtual systems for product demonstrations and security auditing which requires a lot of memory and I'm easily using all 16GB of it due to the bad memory management in Mac OS X and not wanting to run the "purge" command every 15 minutes). Installed in about 10 minutes using just a Phillips #00 screwdriver (Youtube videos and iFixit instructions exist for this along with compatibility charts through EveryMac). Used Memtest86 to burn in the memory for a solid 48 hours before I did anything else to ensure there are no obvious issues.
