8gb Upgrade

It seems $276 is way to much for a no manufacturer named brand of RAM.
Forgot to mention, you can get this RAM instead.
Has lower price, it's from Newegg.com (reputable e-tailor) and Mushkin brand, a very good RAM manufacturer. Also, free shipping and you get the chance to get $20 by MIR.

Yes, although I prefer OWC for RAM.

Its just $138 for 8gb and you can trade-in your old 4gb for $52.
so total upgrade is $86 after rebate + shipping.
Thanks!

Plenty of Mac Pro owners have bought RAM from TransIntl with success. It has lifetime warranty so you should be fine.
You don't get speed increase if you run normal app like Mail and browsers.
If you have 4gb ram and running massive Photoshop with 600dpi up (6000x6000 pixel) and running some video editing. You will experience slow down and struggling switching application and loading other applications.
8gb ram you might not experience those at all. Speed for 4gb and 8gb is the same.
What benefits you is to allow bigger application to run all at the same time.

to answer your question go back to this website. i found an exact page for your exact model, and the ram THEY suggest for you to get. Im not sure the one you found will be compatible.

I think I'm going with that set up too.
It's in my cart now. Great price for 8 gigs of RAM.
