I bought a MacBook mid 2010 which I have upgraded to 8GB of RAM. But now, 8GB is not enough for me. I need more RAM for my work.
Can I upgrade my MacBook's RAM to 16GB? I know the new Macbook Pros can do it, but I am not sure about mine.
MacBook – upgrade the MacBook mid 2010 to 16GB of RAM? (2x8G)

Best Answer
(Note: The original post said "No", which was right at the time it was written, but as of February 15th, 2014, the OWC page says that you can install up to 16GB of RAM on mid 2010 MacBooks (2.4GHz).)
It Depends.
OWC continously tests the max RAM which apple computers support - which is usually more than Apple officially states.
The mid-2010 MBP is size dependent. The 13" will support 16GB. The 15" and the 17" will not.
The following table shows that the max RAM supported by your Macbook Pro based off size (mid 2010) is 16GB (officially 8GB).
