tech: Upgrading Mac Pro Memory
Want to spec up your Mac Pro, but worried about getting the wrong sort of RAM? Balking at the £900 that Apple charges to order your Mac Pro with 8GB rather than 2GB?
Wil spends 30 seconds pulling the side off a Mac Pro and installing 8GB of super-fast Corsair RAM for a shade over £100. Then spends another 120 seconds explaining the type of RAM that you need and where you can get it with the minimum of hassle.
Stop abusing your Mac Pro with 2GB of RAM - free the beast within!
I enjoyed your video about upgrading the Mac Pro’s memory but I wanted to make you aware of a small detail that may cause someone’s upgrade to act like it’s not working.
The Mac Pro has different DIMM insertion patterns depending on how many and what type of DIMMS your using but fortunately the Mac Pro’s user guide has a section describing it in a clear manner.
This is the search I used on Apple’s support site to see the various PDF’s available depending on how old your Mac Pro is and if it’s a 4 or 8 core configuration.
