i upgraded my macbook pro 15" quad-core i7 memory to 16GB and works like charm. Apple said max is 8GB but actual memory is 16GB. extremely fast and smooth. maximise your memory to release the full potential of OS X Mountain Lion

May I ask which kind of memory stick did you purchase, is it from Corsair? I'm wondering whether early 2011 model support 16GB, and it seemed to be very picky for 16GB sticks. I've read success and fail side from it.
