This may look like semantics, but I’m not saying that Crucial officially offered larger RAM DIMMs than Apple spec via their online RAM Advisor, only that they did have such DIMMs for sale, at least for some of the Mac models where there was a difference. Unfortunately, those links have long since expired, as did the inventory they referred to, making it difficult to substantiate that notion one way or the other. That said, I'm willing to concede the possibility that I’m confusing Crucial (my only supplier for at least 25 years) with other RAM vendors.
