Sweet, thanks guys. I heard the minis could be pushed to 16 GB (unofficially). I'm at 8 GB now, and in a year, 16 will no doubt be the new 8. Nice that I haven't hit a plateau just yet.

I am finding that my server work hits above 8gb once in a while. running it with samsung 2x 8gb sticks it seems to get to 9-10gb a few times a day. I most likely can get away with a 12gb setup.. Since the 4gb sticks are low cost it saves money.
 
Yes, tested Corsair 8GB x 2 = 16GB in the 2011 Mac Mini Server (i7 quad core w/ integrated Intel HD 3000 Graphics). Also tested in 2011 15" MacBook Pro to be confirmed work. Did not test 27" iMac as this model has had memory comparability issues with it's firmware. Samsung tends to be the only brand that can occupy all four slots with out random shutdowns.

How much memory does the integrated hd3000 utilize with 16gb? If it doubles from 256ish to 512ish that'd be awesome.
 
So the Corsair 8GB x 2 = 16GB have been tested. Any test any others?

Btw, since I'm in Japan is Corsair made by an Asian company? I'm wondering what RAM I could find in Asia/Japan that would works as well as Corsair.

If it's too risky I'll just have it sent to my family back home then have them send it to me.

I've tested additional Corsiar 8GB x 2 kits using Rember loops and they all have passed.
