The 2011 MacBook Pros can actually handle 16GB, despite apple's statements. (See: blog.macsales.com/… ) – Fake Name Apr 29 '11 at 6:32
Mostly, 8GB SO-DIMMs are just ridiculously expensive (~$800) – Fake Name Apr 29 '11 at 6:36

I can confirm that 1066 MHZ works without any problems with latest i7 2011. I didn't test if there are any performance issues, but at least it is stable. – Sorin Sbarnea Oct 17 '11 at 20:43
