Chris,
Confirm you have the single Quad Core and not the dual? The bummer about that machine is Apple only officially supports up to 8Gb of RAM on that one.
With an 8-core, you could levy up to 32 GB of RAM.
One note on RAM with all these machines--you'll get best results by installing RAM configurations that are optimized to take advantage of three memory channels. That means its no longer 4, 8, or 16 that are prime--but rather 6, 12, or 24 GB.
6x1GB for 6GB
6x2GB for 12GB
6x4GB for 24GB
If you install the max RAM of 32 Gb, your system actually loses the ability to address three memory channels and decreases to two.
