RAM upgrade for mac pro 4×1 or 2×2?
Hi there,
I am busy looking at a system to buy, and was thinking for future purposes, 2x2gb would be better since I could then add up to 16gb at a later stage without replacing existing sticks.Does 2×2 work? I believe Crucial ram is good for FCP\MacPro?
Thanks guys,
Mark. -

I believe 2x2GB DIMMs are better than 4x1GB DIMMs for several reasons: they allow future expansion, and you incur some wait states if you access the memory in the 3rd and 4th slots out from the motherboard. The downside is that the 2GB DIMMs are still a little more expensive and 2x1GB – but prices are coming down fast.
Lots of people buy from Crucial or Other World Computing.
