Can I upgrade my ram to 16 GB?

I have the MaBook pro 7.1 mid 2010 13'3, and would like to upgrade to 16GB of 1066MHz, is it possible to work on my EFI firmware and how i know the working version, also can i use one 8gb and 2gb together of the same 1066MHz ?

My current system specs:

Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz

Boot ROM Version: MBP71.0039.B0E

SMC Version (system): 1.62f7

I do not think 10GB will run... model actually supports 8 GB of RAM running Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" and 16 GB of RAM running OS X 10.7.5 "Lion" or higher and the latest EFI update (which should be automagically foiund/installed after the update).

The upgrades have been in matched pairs, that is to say they like to have the same vendor and type of RAM - you can't mix speeds.

So you likely will have to upgrade both OS and RAM if you want to use more than 4GB.

If this answer is acceptable please remember to return and mark it.

I am already using OS X 10.7.5 "Lion" so does 10 gb of same speed but different vendor will work on it ? if it works on 16 gb so why not will not work on 10 gb ?

Also can i use one 8GB on one slot or i must buy two 4Gb on the two slots ?

Two 4GB modules will be needed to get to 8GB. Two 8GB modules will be needed to get to16GB. While you can mix the two to get to 12GB I don't recommend it and you really need to have a matched set when working in pairs (same vendor and specs). Also make sure your firmware is up to date. Follow this Apple TN: EFI and SMC firmware updates for Intel-based Macs.

so if i used only one 8GB, the macbook will not run ? is it safe to install the latest EFI or maybe the bios will crash ?

Re read Dan's Answer... he says a single RAM chip over 1GB will probably not work. You won't harm the EFI (bios) but the machine may not start or run poorly.
