Memory question

[Cave Man]

We have a Mac Pro from 2010 (dual processor 5,1) that currently has 4x2gb RAM sticks in it. Apple System Profiler reports them as DDR3 ECC at 1333 mHz. There are 4 empty slots and I was hoping to put two more sticks in (2x4gb). Will these Kingstons work with the computer and with the other DIMMs that are in it?

Thanks!

The ones you highlighted are 1066 rather than 1333 but they are certainly compatible (the key parts are ECC and temp sensor). Fitting an extra 2x4Gb of the ones you have shown will drop the memory speed to 1066 across all the memory (think lowest common denominator).

Yeah, I figured that would happen, but I couldn't find any 1333 chips at NewEgg. Strange they don't have them.

Won't get much cheaper than this: http://cgi.ebay.de/2x-4GB-8GB-DDR3-...itsspeicher&hash=item53e634dd8f#ht_3954wt_991

Thanks for that NewEgg link - I'm not sure why it didn't show up on my search.
