possible ram mod for 2011 & 2012 unibody macbook pro's adding 32gb

hello, so ive been doing a lot of research lately on the old unibody macbook pro's. i happen to own a couple unibody macbook pro's. a 2012 15" a 2012 13" and a 2011 17", looking at aquiring eventually more macbook pros for more testing and moding. i think with the use of open core legacy patcher, if anyone wants to test before i i go ahead and test the theory my self, spoof there macbook pro efi settings and set it to a imac 27" late 2012 and change some other settings with in open core to manipulate thoses settings it just may work to get 32gb of ram working without any major diy hardware modding. i plan on testing this theory my self. but sense ram is really expensive right now i thought i post it here and thought anyone would be willing to test on one of there machines?

========================================================================

"Start of Update Post"

was going to build a micro atx system but for what im wanting to do with the desktop for virtual machine use now. im going to be using differnt graphics cards for differnt virtual machines and operating system testing.

So please let me clairify my post here. im building a linux box on lga 2011 -v2 platform. i have finnaly deiced on parts and what im going to use for everything.

*Mother Board -

*64gb of ddr3 ecc ram, the fastest that the board can support.

*CPU- Intel Xeon E5-2687w -v2 https://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Xeon/Intel-Xeon%20E5-2687W%20v2.html?

*Case im going with is a either going to be a pizza box case i find online, or most likely one i end up building by hand.

*1000 Corsair Power Supply Fully Modular

* Dual DVD Drives one of them being blue ray

* Dual 4tb hdd's and dual 2tb ssd's

* Main Gpu GT 1050ti 4gb low profile for linux gaming and basic three display out put.

gpu will be for windows vista, windows 7, windows 8, windows 8.1. will also be using amd rx 550 low profile with custom patched driver.

* For windows xp, im going with Nvidia quadro K4000 3gb. its a single slot card and wont affect much on the motherboard its self.

* 3rd gpu for do6 6.22, windows 3.1 , Windows 4.0, Windows NT, Windows 95, 98, Windows Me , Windows 2k,

* im also wanting to load mac os 7, 8 and 9, as well as 10, 10.4, 10.5 10,9, `10,10 10,11 , 10,12, 10,13, 10,14, 10,15

i have plan on how to hook all of this up to my one board and crazy ass system. im going to use a server board for sure. i know i need a lga 2011 -v3 motherboard for this at least. but my point is im still trying to find the best of thee best graphcis card to load the following - Mac os 7, 8, ,9 10, 10,1 10,4 10,9

as well as dos 6.22, windows 3.11, windows 4.0, Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2k.

i do realize im going to need a E ATX Motherboard at this point. but i thought i should clarify what im doing here.

I hope this helps or if to much information. please clarify with me.

"End Of New Post"
