Sup' yokes and chokes,

• How much RAM can be installed into a Mac Pro?
• How much HDD space can be installed into a Mac Pro?

• Would you really see a difference with RAM higher than 8GB? In terms of video editing, and gaming?
• Are SSD's a novelty?
 
  • The maximum amount of RAM depends on the Mac Pro model, maybe take a look at EveryMac or MacTracker to find out.
  • HDDs have no limit, thus you can use four 3 TB HDDs in it.
  • Depending on your workload, you will see a difference or not. I have 32 GB RAM and the machine I use is plenty of fast.
  • No, they are nowadays quite common.

What is with the Stalinesque gif?

As originally shipped, Apple officially supported a maximum of 8 GB of RAM but third-parties discovered that the system could actually support 16 GB of RAM using four 4 GB memory modules. On December 4, 2009, Apple "officially" began supporting 16 GB of RAM as well. Shortly thereafter, third-parties determined that the system could, in fact, support 32 GB of RAM using four 8 GB modules. Finally, third-parties have been able to support 48 GB of RAM with three 16 GB modules.

When can we expect SSD's to leap to 1TB/2TB?
