which mac are you planning on dropping this into? and what are you replacinng?I was wondering if the ram here
would work in a Mac Pro? The only part it doesn't mention is FB-DIMM. They do appear to have the heat sinks. Any feedback would be great. Thanks
Then you'll want to skip that one. You really do need FBDIMM.The only part it doesn't mention is FB-DIMM.
I'd be dropping it into a 2.66ghz pro which currently has 1 gig (standard 2x512 setup from apple). Does FBDIMM always specifically mention it? Apple's site states "667MHz DDR2 ECC fully-buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) memory" contrasted w/ PNY "DDR2 PC2-5300 (667 MHz Bus Speed)".
Yes, it would mention that if it had it. It uses a whole different interface (serial vs. parallel), so the difference is a big deal. It's really aimed more at server applications (thanks to the Xeon chipset used in the Mac Pro), and there is a price penalty.Does FBDIMM always specifically mention it?
