jeremyxxx Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Hi, I recently pruchased a Mac Pro Intel Xeon Computer. I wanted to upgrade the memory with at leat 2Gigs of ram. Since there is not a lot of manufacturer who are doing memory for mac computers, the one sold on the Apple website is 700$ for 2GIGs ... ouch! So Ive been recommanded to go and see what Corsair has to offer. And I could get 2Gigs for something like 300$ (2XCorsair Value Select VS1GB667D2). So I was wondering...why is it so cheap? Is it going to be compatible with my Mac Computer or I should stick with recommanded memory made for Apple for better perfomances? Thanks Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 26, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 26, 2006 We do make memory that is compatible with most mac systems. Please look up your system on our memory configurator and order the module or modules that are listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyxxx Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 Well that's the problem, it's not listed there. Apple Mac Pro Intel Xeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 29, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 29, 2006 Then I am sorry I would suggest using a module as suggested by the system builder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpDFrek Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Well that's the problem, it's not listed there. Apple Mac Pro Intel Xeon The Mac Pro systems use FB DIMM's. The Apple FB DIMM's have larger than normal finned heatsinks on the modules to deal with the heat generated on the Buffer and the airflow properties of the Mac Pro tower. Any FB DIMM will work, however longevity will be affected by temperature over time without the giant heatsinks Apple puts on its FB DIMM's.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 24, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 24, 2007 CM72FB1024-667 will work great in your system without any compatibility errors or problems. In fact, you should simply be able to just plug it in and go without any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
