Hi
Welcome to MR

Apple's RAM and hard drive prices are insane - plan on ordering a stock configuration and adding upgrades from a reputable third party dealer.

When you post, it's good to specify which model and speed of Mac you have.

To clarify things i was talking about a new mac pro 2.8(8core)

Not wanting to offend by promoting "Brand X" here I'd say use a search engine using the terms "mac" and "forum" to find other discussions.

thanks for the links. i didnt know the ram needed to be set up in "matched" pairs.

if i bought the 2x(2gb) those would go in A1,B1, and the 2x(1gb) would go A2,B2?

OR

is it 2x(2gb) those would go in A1,A2 and the 2x(1gb) would go B1,B2?


Thanks!
