MacPro memory, good deal or not?

The one from the photo, 2Rx4, is fully compatible - but 667MHz. Don't buy any 4Rx4.
 
Yeah, I would probably get the eight 4GB modules for $50...that looks like a good, going rate. And I wouldn’t worry about being 667MHz. Those are way more plentiful and therefore less expensive than 800MHz.

OK now, just so I'm clear on this, this is what I'd be looking to get.
"PC-2 5300F 4GB memory modules ECC Fully Buffered. eight modules for $50"
So I should be good with these?

Yep. Remember, just 2Rx4. Do not buy 4Rx4 memory for Mac Pros.
