Hi everyone,
In order to solve the serious hiccups of my new macpro 2,66 I've also double checked the RAM. I just would like to make sure that it is correctly placed onto the risers. Currently I have 2X512mb (the original apple) and 2x1gb ram...They are placed in the following order
2x512 mb on dimm 1 & dimm 2 in riser A (the top one)
2x1gb mb on dimm 1 & dimm 2 in riser B (the bottom one)
Is this ok?
The reseller has forgotten to ship me all RAM that I've ordered, so an additional pair 2x512mb is on its way...when it gets I plan to install it on
2x512mb on dimm3 and dimm4 in riser A
Would that be correct...
I was applying the following logistic: a pair in the top two slots of the top riser A (2X512mb), then in the top two slots of the bottom riser B (2x1gb); then again 2x512mb on riser A .
I see also another option for the additional RAM (2x512mb) when it arrives. Just to summarize...I will then have a total of 4gb ram that will be consisted of (4x512mb, 2x1gb....The other option would be in steps:
1. a pair (2x512mb) in the top two slots (dimm 1 and dimm 2) of the top riser A
2. a pair (2x512mb) in the top two slots (dimm 1 and dimm 2) of the bottom riser b
3. a pair (2x1gb) in the dimm 3 and dimm 4 of the top riser A.
Same logistics...but a new following...first placing all 512mb and then all 1gb RAM.
Would that be a better option and how would rearranging the existing already existing and installed RAM could affect my macpro functionality and macosx.
Thanks again for the input
Best regards
