A little confusion here.... You mentioned early 2009 Mac Pro, so wei have to post a Barefeat RAM reference for DDR3...

Anyway, do you actually require that much amount of RAM....?

Else just stick the 4x4GB on an A1-A2, B1-B2 quad-channel configuration. If you need more than 16GB, get another matching pair of 2GB and slot it together with the existing 2GB modules on A3-A4, B3-B4 configuration... That gives you a whopping 24GB RAM...

If you google around, you get plenty of information regarding FB-DIMM arrangements on pre-Nehalem MPs. I've even read that performance on memory bandwidth ain't good for 2- and 6-module configurations.

PS: That's tray A and B...

From the above link, it states DDR2-800....

Your 17" non-Unibody MBP at the very latest, supports only 667MHz mem speed. So in a way, if it works, then your mem speed will be underclocked to 667MHz, providing if it doesn't kernel panic, nor at it's worst, damage your logic board. Either way, to find out if it works, you can either risk testing it, or consult Corsair to find out if it's designed also to work on a Mac (which I think Corsair themselves wouldn't provide an accurate answer)...

It's in Malaysia alright.... Go check it out Mac City in 1U outlet, they do carry them...

why don't you call and ask....?

I don't have an HDMI-driven screen, so I don't use them. I just happened to know they have....

SonnetTech has one FW800 to FW400 converter that I've seen... price should hover around RM 100, or maybe less...

Should be ok... I might plan to get one for my external iSight which uses FW400...

Any USB hub should do fine. Preferably the ones with dedicated power supply, in case you need to plug onto USB-powered devices....

Not only Hynix... in some cases Samsung and Nanya....

It depends on which model you have... Core i5 and i7 use considerably more power than C2D siblings... so as those with custom ATI 4850 GC...

The current models have continuous max power rating of 241W and 365W for 21.5" and 27" respectively, so that should give you some idea, but it's usually way below that since you're not loading both CPU and GPU 24/7... Previous generation iMacs are around 180W if I'm not too mistaken...

You've just got the iMac recently...? And you do a lot of heavy stuff on your iMac...?

When I first got my Mac Pro running at a constant 360W, my bill shot up RM 100...

However, I did read of complains in recent months about power bill shot up considerably, even though they don't use Macs...

My March bill shot up from RM 500+ to over RM 750 for no apparent reason... At first I though my GTX 260 I was using on my MP drew too much power, despite the idling CPU usage. This month it hovers around RM 600 when I got rid of the card in favour of HD 5850...

wait for seagate momentus xt...

btw, any recommendation for 2.5" hdd firewire enclosure only...?

not here yet, but not really sure if it's gonna make it here...

just like the western digital 2.5" 750gb... wanted to get one as external, but here in this country, it maxes out only at 640gb... can't find 750gb scorpio blue in the local market...

there are some ppl who can manage to stuff in a 12.5mm 1TB on uMBPs though....

why 1TB that's even slower than 5400rpm for a startup drive...? You can get a 500GB 7200rpm drive as startup and get a 1TB as external for storage...

I'm already on the lookout for this for my MacBook Pro... in fact I've got a thread below on this:
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1454485&hl=

Is it that cheap...? I don't think so...

Not on sale yet in Malaysia, but I expect no lesser than RM 500... US retailers selling then for as low as $130...

dude, you should do a lot more reading on this...

Nope... that's not the one....

10.5 Leopard of coz... but 1GB RAM....

tak tau cari ke...?

http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php

don't take this for granted... it's just a benchmark, but it should give you some idea...

next time, google first before ask, don't expect ppl to spoon-feed you all the time...

see, you've just proved you're plain lazy.... need i say more...?

I assume you mean Hitachi 5K500...? If it's Hitachi 7K500, you'll be comparing apple and orange, as the latter is a 7,200rpm drive, while Scorpio Blue is only 5,400rpm...

While WD only topped 320GB for Scorpio Black (7,200rpm), they've just launched the 500GB model, enough to compete with Hitachi's 7K500 and Seagate's Momentus 7200.4...
