  More RAM memory for After Effects

  Posted by Dave Chavinsky on February 13, 2012 at 8:11 pm

  Hi,

  I just bought after effects and want to buy more memory for my Mac Pro:
  • MacPro4,1 (2.66GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon)

  Current memory: 6 GB 1066 MHz DDR3

  How do I know what kind of ram I need? does it have to be “1066 MHz DDR3”? or have to be just DDR3..

  Good places to buy from?
  -macsales.com has 16GB of their OWC ram (for my specific computer) for $124.99 – Is this good Ram quality and a good price?

  perhaps this isn’t the right forum for these types of questions. What’s a forum to ask this kind of thing? And a forum to ask general film-making questions as well.

  Thanks a lot!

  OWC is among the best – fully qualified to Apple specs. OWC is not the cheapest, but their service, support, and quality is excellent.

  I recently bought some RAM from “MacDimms” and the price was very good:

  If your machine is a 2009 or 2010 model, then you don;t need to install in pairs, but you do need to pay attention to the ordering of the RAM sticks per this document:
