noraa58 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hi all, I'm looking to buy a new Mac Pro with these specs: Two 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 2GB (2x1GB) 320GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB and I want to know if this RAM is going to be compatible: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820208391 The RAM that ships with mac is 2x1GB whereas this is 1x2GB. Will having 3 slots taken up mess with the computer? I know some mobos on PC require even number of slots to be taken up. Do I need to buy 2 sticks? Thanks.

Groot Koos Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 This was on the Newegg page... "Buy in pairs and works great with the new 8-core MacPro 2.8Ghz."

noraa58 Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Ok I bought the computer and you NEED to buy the RAM in matched pairs or it WILL not work. Just a heads up to anyone with similar questions. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/139266-mac-ram-compatibility/#findComment-997105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
