No, I do not recommend it. It does not have the Apple-approved-type heatsink, and Kingston does not guarantee it for Mac Pros. It's made for rackmount servers which don't have the room for the large heatsinks (and also have g@wdawful noisy high-volume fans)

The correct Kingston kits for MacPro are KTA-MP667AK2/2G (2 x 1 Gb) and KTA-MP667AK2/4G (2 x 2 Gb)

Urgh... thats bad news.

So, if this RAM would be used in a Mac Pro, what the consequences might be? Whats the chance of RAM overheating?

P.S.: Mac Pro is either 2.0 or 2.66, if that matters.

I can't say for sure, I have never tried this RAM in a Mac and never will, but... Kingston says don't use it in a Mac, Apple says don't use it in a Mac, and Kingston ValueRAM has had a long and chequered history regards Mac compatibility. Kingston's KTA- series are great in Macs, but the KVR-series has been ugly at times.

Just go with Apple certified RAM...My recommendations: OWC.

Not to be rude, but plz look at my location (below avatar). Are you sure we have OWC here? 😉

The problem is, we bough 4 2GB sticks of FB-DIMM for selling in our store, selling specifically for Mac Pros (no other computers here use FB-RAM). But it appears to be not good with MPs, which is very sad. I hope it works though, as we need to sell them anyway...

Whoops, my mistake 🙂

Hmm, the best you can do is find Apple certified heatsinks and do a custom heatsink on your RAM modules...other than that, maybe try contacting a U.S. dealer like OWC and see if they can ship it to Russia?
