I’ve been purchasing RAM from OWC and have been very satisfied. $199 for 4GB.

The KONA line of video capture and playback cards from AJA, including the KONA 3, KONA LHe and KONA LSe, also offer support for the new Mac Pro, allowing users to take full advantage of a new system architecture that delivers up to twice the performance of its predecessor.

Hi there,

Thanks for the tip – I looked at the OWC site and when I selected the new Macpros they seem to have two brands of RAM – one approved by Netlist and the other presumably not:

Since one is $659 for 8gb and the other is $399, is there a difference? It the more expensive one faster or more reliable in some way?

Thanks for your help!

Also – I emailed Crucial and they said their RAM for the new MacPros is still being tested, not currently available.

Yes, I was going to say I couldn’t get hold of any of the new RAM from Crucial – I think you might have bought RAM for the ‘old’ 8-core Walter.

I haven’t purchased anything. We have not ordered a new machine and don’t intend to for a while yet. We’re still running our Mac Pro Quad 3.0 and G5 Quad 2.5.
