I don't see why people stress so much about RAM. Its important but only very little few need 4 to 6 gigs. and only a tiny few and I'm say 1 out of 50 people need 12gigs or more. people just think they need so much but in reality they have to stop running unused programs.
Dude is it even really worth it to ever buy a Mac Pro if you're not gonna spend $4000+ for it? I mean high end iMacs beats the entry level Mac Pros, on top of that... you get a super display with the iMac that you don't need to buy for the comp.
@Mattsana Yes but if you look at an imac, you can't upgrade anything unless you want to open the entire monitor up and risk breaking something like a ribbon cable. And the Mac Pro's you can upgrade SOOO MUCH! Their are like 6 HD slot's and like 2 video card slot's for dual monitor's and 6 slot's for ram so you can get so much ram on one computer.
@Cynice49 Well that's not really true. About the Mac Pro I mean. Cause the motherboard only supports certain things that are Apple certified so any GPU cannot be installed nor CPU. And all the extras for it are overpriced. Getting the iMac you'll get a tremendous display for the money too.
hey Dave was this Apple RAM or OWC or some other company? I was just wondering because I know you have Apple Care and when I went to upgrade my RAM they told me if I didn't use Apple RAM, my warranty would be void.
do you think I made that up? I had a hardware issue with my MacBook Pro and they told me if the problem had anything to do with my non-apple RAM, they would not honor the warranty. Luckily, it had nothing to do with my RAM and it was a some kind of graphics card issue. And when you say "There is nowhere that says that", I know that. I never said that Apple blatantly tells that to their customers, but its something they told me when I had a problem. So no, its not bull shit.
@starkid423 No need to get upset. I never said you were making that up. I suspect someone at apple has been misinformed though, as they allow people to upgrade ram in all the computers. If they didn't honor your warranty because of RAM obviously you could easily sue them as their instruction book teaches how to upgrade to ANY ram without making it clear only apple RAM is supported. Apple doesn't even make RAM. No need to jump to the conclusion I am attacking you. If anything just trying to help.
Except there are ways to do it better (optimizing for dual/triple channel RAM). And, of course, you could alway put the RAM in a PCI-E slot, for instance.
Not without a load of messing around inside the OS and the hardware .. what, are you a Microsoft rep or a big windows fan?
I get it Windows rule..
What ever it takes.. its usually less trouble with a mac - especially these days... you can get anything to do anything in IT - if Windows is your bag have a nice time with the new 7 upgrade.. you'll love.. probably are loving it as i type...MtD
I use both Mac and PC, i'v found as long as your PC is using an intel Xeon processor post 2007 your pc will run OSX snow leopard perfectly, however by doing this on start up windows bios and mac unix (ROM) conflict forabout 20 seconds but then boots up to unix =]
Wait wait wait, okay, I'm a computer noob and don't know jack shit about Macs, but I was told that Macs didn't have towers? Holy shit I'm damn confused right now 0.o
Correction, Apple charges extraordinarily high prices for RAM. It is merely Fully Buffered ECC DDR2 800 RAM. You can get that off Newegg for about $100 for 4GB.
It does not have to be Apple RAM as Apple does not make RAM.
He got it in 2007. Plus, Macs dont have the same sort of hardware requirements than Windows does (good example is XP vs Vista, Vista needs more power to run as well as XP on the same machine). Also, the RAM used in the MacPro's are Fully Buffered, ECC and registered. It's server stuff, so it costs more than generic desktop stuff. Apple do charge a lot for it though, which is true, but then most OEM's screw you on additional RAM.
Where did I claim that ECC was faster? Of course ECC is slower, it self corrects the code itself as opposed to offloading that job to the CPU which in turn has to be told to do it by the software. It's more efficient (and efficient doesn't have to mean faster). Vista does NOT run faster than OS X. You can run Leopard on a G4 that came out 7 years ago and it'll run pretty damn well considering. XP is 9 years old. Show me where Vista runs better than OS X on the same hardware?
Do you actual know anything about pcs? or computers in general? The reason for the riser cards is that having 8 DIMM slots on motherboard would nessecitate a larger motherboard, and consequently a larger case. It also means that it is easier for replacement. Most workstations (computers used for heavy computing situations like CAD and Video Editing) use risers so that you can replace, upgrade and maintain.
A lot of modern games take advantage of 2 or more cores, the new steam engine will support up to 64 cores. Also games rely heavily on RAM for caching textures and information. You can game just as well on a mac as a PC. Don't kid yourself that your gaming pc couldnt be outrun by a well spec mac running windows, cause they can and the new macs have the new intel processors before the mainstream get them.
so why would you add all that stuff into the mac pro when it runs all games at full graphics and no lagg... so i think the pc has allot of waisted shit in it. and liquid cooling? why? if it runs so what?
Macs and Windows (64bit versions) run on the same memory address procedures, therefore can read to the same theorectical maximum amount of memory allowed by the 64bit naming schemes. 32bit windows can't recognise above 4gigs because of the 32bit nature of the code. Currently the Mac is limited to 32gb from apple but only due to not offering larger memory sticks, as many workstations (PCs) offer up to 128gigs. Soon Apple will intro the newer 8gig sticks and all will be well in world of computing.
They actually updated them today. They eliminated firewire 400 ports, one of the dual link DVI port's on the Graphics card and replaced it with Minidisplay. and more Ram at the same price points.
read the post i responded to. If 1.5 was on each riser then, no it would not be in matched pairs. It would be a 1gb and a 512 gb on each riser. That is not matched pairs lol
RAM works better if you have Equal amounts of ram on each Riser card,If you are doing a RAM upgrade on a PC then your ram needs to Match...So if your motherboard has 4 RAM Slots and you are upgrading from 1GB to 4GB you need 4 1GB Sticks.

I actually posted a video on here regarding installing memory in a January 2008 model Mac Pro. After following Apple's directions to put the original 2 x 1GB sticks in the top riser and the upgraded memory in the bottom, I realized this does not work.
In my system, the upgraded memory had to be in the top riser (2 x 2GB) and the original memory (2 x 1GB) in the bottom. When done the other way around, the system would only post 2GB and ignored the 4 GB in the bottom.
Hell if I were to do that to my case door it'd fold over like nothing :P
Anyways, nice little tip for RAM upgrades in the Mac Pro. Of course, I don't have nearly enough to buy a Mac Pro myself, but many other people do and will probably find this helpful.
Hey i just thought of something. And remembered something and thought i would ask. would like to know the camera you use to record the one you record with imovie.
It's designed for stability not speed. It's made for massive and intensive loads for prolonged lengths of time. Let's not forget that it's server hardware, again, stability, not pure performance.
I thought the mac pros were designed for professional stuff, and not recommended for just basic everyday things.. thats what the apple store near me told me when I told them I have a G4 MDD.
people always go on about witch one is better Windows or Mac all i can see is its what you want . not what other people say . go to a shop and ask them what you need
dave, you should do a video on what you think about MAC on a PC, im sure you have seen the videos floating around. would really like to know what you think. awesome vid too! keep it rockin
im pretty sure the ram is faster/more efficient that way. instead of using 667 mhz speed on one stick, it uses that speed for each of the two sticks at the same time. it's like trying to dissolve a cube of sugar, it's faster if you cut the cube in half because of more surface area. That's what I think anyway.
The dust is actually quite strange, unless you live in a dusty area. The fans should be in such a position that dust doesn't really get a chance to build up.
Maybe I'm just exaggerating, but it's usually a sign of a not-so-perfect design.
Touche, it just really annoys me that they changed it for no reason other than laziness, although it's not really Dave's fault that he was taught that spelling.

Why does Apple put in two 512mb sticks instead of just one 1GB stick?
zeppelinboys 3 years ago
Thats what i wanna know. Maybe to cost less?
Robertd63 3 years ago
Thats possible but. Now Apple is selling MacPros with 2Gb standard. Maybe their using 4 512 sticks! That would be stupid.

bslilpeewee1996 3 years ago
im pretty sure the ram is faster/more efficient that way. instead of using 667 mhz speed on one stick, it uses that speed for each of the two sticks at the same time. it's like trying to dissolve a cube of sugar, it's faster if you cut the cube in half because of more surface area. That's what I think anyway.
Remoth000 3 years ago
that's right. its more efficient that way.

It's for dual channel. It basically uses the bandwidth of both sticks as one big pipe instead of seperately. It improves performance.

I didn't see you take any anti static precautions when you changed your Ram.
You risk damaging you Mac Pro.
Great video though.
simonps1966 3 years ago
he touched the side door... which is metal.
passingXstorm 3 years ago
Yes but after touching the door he walked across a carpet (nylon) and then touched the ram again!
Really you should wear an anti static wrist strap connected to ground all the time while he is working on any part of his Mac.

The dust is actually quite strange, unless you live in a dusty area. The fans should be in such a position that dust doesn't really get a chance to build up.
Maybe I'm just exaggerating, but it's usually a sign of a not-so-perfect design.

Both ways are correct. The way he says it is the American way.

Touche, it just really annoys me that they changed it for no reason other than laziness, although it's not really Dave's fault that he was taught that spelling.

"We" live in AMERICA? Never knew that England was one of the 50 states. And don't you speak "English" in America anyway? The conversation about my comment has already ended, not only was your response late, it was also unnecessary and without thought.

Who in the hell said that England was 1 of fifty states?
