Ok,

So I'm looking into getting ram for my macpro prob 2 x 1GB (2GB)... I've found a few good deals on ebay.

Will this type work with the macpro?


I know I should be looking for FB-DIMM 667 DDR2...

Will this work?
2GB PC2-5400 667MHZ DDR2 RAM MEMORY DIMM 2 GB 2 x 1GB

Absolutely not. It's not FB-DIMM.

I strongly recommend that you do not shop for MacPro RAM on eBay, but choose a reputable dealer. Failure rate on FB-DIMMs approaches 10%, you want a seller who guarantees MacPro compatibility and covers shipping both ways for DOA exchanges.

Do you have any to recommend?
