Transcend memory for Mac Pro?

I wouldn't do it. Doesn't have the proper heatsinks. And is more expensive than OWC: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Mac-Pro-Memory per GB

Yep- those are some ODD heatsinks. Plus- it says this is not a stock item from B&H and normally takes 3-7 days to arrive, so you can bet it is a custom order and not returnable item.

Save the hassle and just order the right stuff from OWC like macintosh tech said and save some money too. Plus their lifetime advance replacement policy is golden and customer service is top notch! Plus with the saved money you can get overnight shipping at very reasonable rates from them.

can you add those to the already existing stock ram?
there were some conflicting reports saying sometimes it worked or you had to pull the stock ram out to use the 2gb pairs of that ram.

It works fine. I have the both Transcend 2 gig sticks in my upper riser and the two stock 1 gig sticks in the bottom.

Solid Ram but make sure you get the 800MHZ Ram if you have an Early '08 model

im buying ram for a macpro at our studio, its the first gen 2.66 model
found this ram:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208200


should that work reliable with the 2.66 macpro? it currently has 4x512 sticks and we wanted to up it to 6gigs.
