I know it supports up to 8 (as its mentioned on apple site) then googled it and saw lots of people using 16 GB without any issues.

If larger RAM chips ship after that release date Apple does not update the computer's specification. If OWC says 16 gb, then it'll work. Those guys know their business. "Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.
