new style RAM upgrade problem
I have a strange problem with my 2008 3.2GHz 8-core Mac pro w/ 2GB ram running Leopard. I purchased the new style 4 x 1GB ram upgrade from Kingston. When I install it into dimm slots 2 and 3 on each riser the system profiler only sees 2GB on riser B and nothing on riser A.
If I pull out the ram from dimm slot 3 on each board the profiler sees all that is installed, 4GB. Apple says that the Mac Pro can handle up to 32GB but mine seems to have a limit of 4GB. Am I missing something? Should I have sacrificed a chicken before installing?
I’ve emailed tech support at Kingston to see if they have any suggestions.
cheers,

It sounds like you are not following the ram install instructions.
Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!

Put the two 4gb modules in slots 1&2 on the upper card, and put the two original 1gb modules in slots 1&2 on the lower card…
