i have a lot of experience correlating performance with RAM upgrades, and i
join a lot of others in advising that RAM is usually the best
price/performance upgrade you can do
Whole system performance is much more important than just RAM size.
the performance i speak of is whole system performance; ymmv, and as i noted, a
system with an SSD already presents a different equation, but for a whole lot
of people, more RAM is the price/performance win
that's exactly what's weird about it; they support 16 GB but for some reason
Apple doesn't tell you; that's one reason i use everymac.com to check specs
on Macs
Apple tells you what is *supported* according to their testing. The
physical capabilities might be greater but they're not actually
supported insofar as Apple's testing, service and repair is concerned.
Engineering often builds in more stuff than the service and support
organization is willing to take on ...
okay, so that's why Apple doesn't tell you, and you may wish to call it
"normalness" but i reserve the right to call it "weirdness" when there's a
difference between what the machine supports and what Apple supports
