Hi,
I have an old Mac Pro 2008, heard that it could be fitted by 8GB Memory Stick, true? Which means, full RAM will be 64GB?
Mac Pro 2008 (Silver Tower) -- about RAM, Can 8GB Memory Stick Fit in?

QUOTE(wei @ Oct 31 2018, 08:16 PM) It depends if you can utilize all the memory. Most ppl doesn’t. Even if they do. A 2008 model will bottleneck by other hardware spec. Thanks again, Wei! That's true ah! So, what's your suggestion? Half of it will do? 32GB? or could be lesser like 16GB? |

QUOTE(wei @ Nov 1 2018, 09:56 AM) You can start with double of what you have if you facing insufficient memory issue. Thanks Wei for your precious suggestion!Say, I have 2X2GB now. I just grab 2X8GB first ,then start the test from here? Does Brand matter? |

QUOTE(wei @ Nov 1 2018, 04:46 PM) Older model best use FB-DIMM with Apple certified heatsink. Else you will face stability issue. Thanks for clarifying, Wei! This means will face the hang/freeze & Japanese wording to forcd shutdown? |
