Installing RAM In The Mac Pro

[UnkownName321123]

Put in 128GB ram

[tomprovost]

Thanks Murray!

[DarkAAProductions]

Maingear is better then mac

[13DEAD989]

... if you only have 3 pairs of chips, Riser A should have 2 pair, and Riser B should only have 1 pair....

[OMAHA2231]

you sir are lucky you didn't short out the RAM trays...... Steve Jobs would shake his head very disaprovingly....

[OMAHA2231]

APPLE... Creating expensive chrome colored bricks since fuck knows when....

[WXIIIR]

macs look so high end and advanced to their users but when you look at the inside you see really how crappy apples hardware is, just look at those memory trays, look at the quality of the pcb, jesus christ, if it was cheaper i would understand it, but the cheapest pc you can get from a supermarket brand will have better quality components

[skeivys]

please dont touch your mac, ever again

[HayLotion]

Mac user.. knows nothing about computers.

[SirMrGuyThing]

@HayLotion What are you implying? That Mac user apparently know enough about HIS computers to be able to upgrade them. And as far as I know, the Ground connector in the power cable will protect you if something where to happen, like shock.

[GothicMaverick2]

What kind of bracelet is that?

[bombheadful]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGH­HHHHHHH its not safe!!!!!!!!!! 0:44 UNBLUG the powercable!!!!!

[HDGFXDesigns]

I love watching mac videos so many people take the piss out of that person in the vid ROFL, but really why on a carpet you'll have a better chance on grass while its raining plus STEP 1) unplug Power Cable (2) Burn your Mac (3) Buy a PC :)

[02blazp]

omg u don't get dust filter for $3k+ ...

[bombheadful]

ARGH POWER CABLE FIRST

[magicsk8te77]

lol are you like a Rtard or somthing,,,, YOur putting all this on the carpet and you didnt even unplug the power supply. i hope your mac takes a shit on itself after this video, cuz i really didnt watch the video after a min in.

[Edwardocatflappo]

Helpful , thx

[StopMotionMind]

This guy is so smart by working on a Mac on a carpet.

No really, it's a Mac, it deserves to break.

[MrBabouse]

Thanks !! ;-)

[ethandestruction]

Wtf, his account doesn't exist?

[zilkoify]

Mac's r scary stuff, i dont want never ever touch those things!!!

[123cooldude500]

i like macs but there soo hard to upgrade and there costly . so thats why im build a Hackintosh. 

[Johnathanmcfarlane]

very helpful, thank you!

[Nils3OWN]

omg, why mac? Can't even play games :S

[7715z]

@Nils3OWN lol lol lol lol! why do you need to play games for? games is for no-lifers but there is tons of games for mac to.. mac is very useful for programming, video/pic editing etc. its a great machine.. i own a pc and a mac and i installed linux on the pc becouse windows sucks.

[dwoodsky]

i winced through that whole process,

CAREFUL WITH THAT DAMN £1000 ram board!!

[360ModsandHacks]

Everyone who says "PC !" is in reality, just too poor to buy a Mac.

[dwoodsky]

@360ModsandHacks yep, but we learn to love what we have :/

[Nils3OWN]

@360ModsandHacks Mac is slower, harder and can't play games, all that crap for a higher price, why?

[Ru55ianGrim]

@Nils3OWN mac isnt slower! LOL my 12 core mac 8GB or ram did 22,000+ on geekbench, find a pc that is better and tell me

[Swaps4SwiftIRC]

Lol.... no wristband and putting them on the carpet like a pro.

[UserName222222]

putting circuit boards on a carpet! (palm on face)

[iRiselyTech]

@UserName222222 Because carpet is very conductive...

[UserName222222]

@iRiselyTech I'm confused if you are asking a question or if you see nothing wrong in this video.  Static electricity ruins circuitry, that is why the ram came in antistatic bags.

[iRiselyTech]

@UserName222222 I meant carpet isn't conductive. At least, it's never ruined anything i've put on it.

[banannaninja]

@iRiselyTech carpet is a static electricity magnet. 1 little arc of static elctricity (About 20,000 to 25,000 volts

(Im not kidding)) is enough to destroy any silicone chip.

[iRiselyTech]

@banannaninja Nylon carpet is a conductor. Carpets are not made of nylon anymore hence it isn't a conductor. S'all i'm saying

[inertia74]

@iRiselyTechThe carpet being a conductor is really irrelevant, i think the primary concern is static electricity. On top of that, he didn't have a ground strap on his wrist. WOT A N00000000B!!!!!!!! XD

[MrPlayBeyond]

@inertia74 I fapped to this video....furiously

[PWN3R3D]

tipical mac user. lol RAM ON CARPET SRSLY??!! XD

you people crack me up

[MyRandomReviews]

Damn, the MAC Pro is really pro. I have to admit, if you aren't planning on gaming Mac Pro over PC anyday!

And lol, wuts up with the RAM trays? Never seen that before, or such huge heatsinks, or so many RAM slots! wow.

[splice247]

macs are so weird ram cards instead of direct mobo slots

[linuxrobotdude]

yeah, I would use a grounding bracelet if I were to work on computers on the carpet.

[Mjbabycakes7072]

You should always make time to clean your computer. I would have spent at least 15 min cleaning all that dust off. I guess I'm slightly obsessive.

[lizardmannnn]

You should have spent that money on a better graphics card...Looks like you got a wimpy one...

[TalesOfWar]

It's a workstation. The kind of applications he'll be using on that thing benefits from more RAM than a better GPU.

[willbot74]

thanks glenn. informative!

[vincentisais555]

lol showing us ur cuttin skillz XD

[kaids32]

the ram heat sinks are way over kill, also macs suck

[stonecoldsteven]

Thank You For Your Worthwhile Comment And Sophisticated Reasoning For Your Comment.

[deathkiller5093]

couldnt have said it better my self.

[Andys184]

You have no idea what you just said. Sad you pc fanboys suck gates cock to much not to realize how fucked up your windows operating system is. Macs just work. Deal with it.

[nikebitch60]

shut up and go by a pc

[Andys184]

yeah like I'm going to downgrade to a pile of dog shit.

[GalaticTG]

Nice video however I'd recommend useing a static strap next time to reduce the risk of static discharge there only like 10 or 15 bucks. And place the riser cards on a static free surface such as a ontop of the static free bags that circuitry ships in as appose to carpet.

Currently I'm doing 3d rendering under Linux but I'm eventually going to get a Mac PRO epically with it's max ram configuration :P.

[anfenn]

*puts it on the carpet*

Me: WTF ARE YOU DOING!!!

[rcnkiller]

macs are for nerds who like borning white computer alienware computers are for real people!! you can make the colors in many diffrent ways and mac cases are BORING my case right now is blue lighting and my keybourd is red i can change both anytime when i am gaming i change both to blood red it helps me in cryis on ultrahigh grafics (i have 2 video cards its not a problem for my computer) i have 1.5tb of normal storage and a 250gb raptor part it OWNS

[Longshot182]

alienware is overpriced. you got scammed...

[rcnkiller]

no macs are overpriced i like mine it cost a far bit but i made all the money for it it starts vista in 5 seconds

[RyanXWing]

You're stupid, shut up. Windows is BAD.

[rcnkiller]

hi nerd get outside and get some air i just got back from my girlfriend had a hell of alot of friend do you know what a girl is right or have to ever met one windows is good if you know what your doing i have had a mac before kept fucking crashing switched to windows and love it and i started getting outside more when i got a pc. so go outside get some fresh air get a haircut or something and get a fucking girlfriend now im off to play aaa hockey

[RyanXWing]

When you hockey career fails you, and you realize an I.Q. of 80 is insufficient to work anywhere but low paying physical labor jobs and your girlfriend leaves you because she doesn't want to be stuck with a failure call me a nerd.

Apparently choosing a different computer makes you one.

[rcnkiller]

umm sorry but i also have a very high iq of around 125 i do great in school see i am one of the few people who can play sports and do great in school yes my english in bad but other then that i am great at school

[rcnkiller]

and also macs are for people that need to look at online porn and dont want to get viruses i never have looked at porn else you count pics of my gf and also i am joining the military very soon so well your at home playing wow i will be defending your FUCKING LIFE macs are over priced pieces of shit and go to a bar or a party and get a girl or go back to your porn and shut the fuck up before i really get pissed and oya on my last math test i got a 99 and that was the best mark in the school!!!

[RyanXWing]

So you're going to kill a bunch of people from a third world country that never really threatened me?

All thats wrong here is you have such a narrow minded view of the world. That will fuck you over no matter what your intelligence is.

Look, in the print business its macintosh. Why? Because photoshop was designed to work on the Mac OS, thus runs BEST on the mac OS. 90% of people in print will agree, the other 10% are narrow minded people like you.

[Longshot182]

I hate macs, but if you build your computer you can save a ton of money. The only thing alienware does is put it together and make cool cases. Its not worth the extra money

[lizardmannnn]

Yea you're completely right, I find it hilarious that Alienware charges $400 to come with a mildly-overclocked cpu.

[subbmage32349]

uhh? $1000.... thats not really pricey plus its the same price as your imac.

[wickywills]

your saying macs are for nerds, yet your the one who likes lights inside their cases??? If you don't like Macs then fair enough, but Alienware are way overpriced and complete S**T!

[rcnkiller]

i like the lights it add a bit to my gaming and my room and my gf likes to changing the lighting when we are making love and also alienware are fucking great computers apple support sucks balls alienware support rocks

[SmokiSounds]

You're a fucking no-life if you share your sex life details on a fucking PC video. Real sad.

[50calUzi]

Why Do u Have 2 DVI Cables If U Only Have One Monitor

[Gipuloe]

Oh, and the PC vs Mac speal is just getting old. Grow up people.

[Gipuloe]

Any certified technician would know not to leave the power supply plugged in while operating on the motherboard or any of it's daughter components.

[kimo2u]

and Vista is the greatest invention ever? go drink more bill (& jerry LOL) kool-aid

[bysandra]

I was surprised to see  you left your computer plugged in? Or not? Thx.

[SolitudeMyGuide]

Interesting. I did not know that static electricity worked differently in the southern hemisphere. This needs further inquery.

[unlokia]

I have to agree; you really don't know what you are doing. If you did, you'd not have placed STATIC SENSITIVE devices on a carpet. You are very fortunate not to have FUBAR'd your ram/risers.

[diond408]

on riser tray one u should of put 1 GB on the top taking the top one to 2GB Then the bottom to 3GB so its mostly even

[TigerSlashX]

only 2 gig?

[jimday666]

what a bunch of shit, mac. pffff

[rcnkiller]

shut up mac beats all pcs but dell dells my fav still i have 2 desktops and 2 laptops. i do alot of music and video editing so i need something with atleast a tyrabyte of harddrive and mac can't which is the only thing stoping me from getting another one i have a macbook

[jimday666]

i don't need fuckin' music, video editing! i'm a gamer, and i need a pc for gaming, not a bullshit mac. end of story.

[adarahs]

The rug...  GG...

[Shaun1gza]

good info thanks a lot

[adryanv]

Except for the part in putting the slots on your rug, well done. Clear and concise guide.

[crayzwalz]

clearly just a rich kid...

[lovelyistheworld]

i think static electricity works opposite in australia, so carpet is fine.

[lumani12]

you should take a little compressed air to the mac pro

[parasme]

Dust... I think the room needs a good clean. You can see a nice layer of dust on the top of the mac pro.

[ufano2006]

Don´t need any anti-static wrist strap?

[beanbag1985]

nice just put it on the rug

[Vipmaxp]

I can't believe you put those on the carpet

[Maverickas123]

why do u need so much ram on a MAC anyway.. Can you play all the latest games that could ever use some of that memory...

[cainemansion125]

u stupid kid, 8GB, 16GB of ram is not a lot. if you a lot of video editing and also using creative suite, you will know why u need so much ram u dickhead

[Cr3ativity]

Beware, "bowmalo" is right. Carpet + chips = STATIC ELECTRICITY!

[bowmalo]

lol is it safe to do it on a carpet?

[111olbap]

@bowmalo It is indeed not. He's clearly an idiot.

[lvpdesign]

With all the air flow how did it get so dusty?

[creativeatheart]

what the hell are you talking about?

[creativeatheart]

because the air flow carries dust particles into the mac pro. Nearly everything gets dusty unless its sealed off completely. Apparentlly, I've got a degree in Dust. ?

[Baboonaphile]

What Marzy said. Of the dozens of computers I've built over the years, I've never used any of the antistatic wristbands and I've never had any problems. Just make sure to ground yourself before installing and you'll be fine.

[marzy2423]

Wristbands are over rated, all the electricity wants too do it ground, soo the case it made out of metal. Touch the case and metal objects going in the case touch it on the case. Wrist bands are stupid.

[rekcam18]

I wish I had 5 gigs. I think I might cry. Yup, I'm tearing. I need a tissue.

[Bryan1342]

I bought my Mac Pro with 8GB (4x2GB) RAM preinstalled, just so then I don't have to do this :P

(Waste of money?...perhaps, but, I got to use it literally "Out of the Box")

[GlennWolsey]

Wow, very gutsy..and expensive ;-)

[modrak]

Oh my gosh! He didn't unplug the powercord! He didn't wear a grounded wrist band...and he DID IT ON CARPET!!! The playground of electrostatics!

Cisco Networking Academy sees you...and they added you on the list of people who will fail all tests involving hardware :P

[GlennWolsey]

Powercord was unplugged, but no wristband was used..I couldn't find it and didn't want to wait. Stupid yes, risky yes..Use a wrist band!

[modrak]

Oh my gooood, oh my goooood, we're all gonna diiiiiieeee :)

(just poking fun at poor glenn, don't mind me :P )

[UnrealGlider]

@modrak Nobody cares.

[ForeverG5]

Not gonna lie, I've been waiting for a video from you on the insides of a Mac Pro. :) Good work, Glenn. 5GB. Wow.

[I63G]

Great video Glenn, but I have a question. Why is it that Windows will only work with up to 4 gigs of RAM, but on your Mac Book you have 5 gigs? How does that work? Why is Windows 'limited' to 4?

[modrak]

Any 64bit system would map all of that...

[I63G]

Thanks!

[GlennWolsey]

I can put up to 32GB in my Mac Pro using 4GB sticks. Windows is limited to 4GB if you're using the 32 bit version, if you're using the 64 bit version, you can expand more.

[creativeatheart]

yh, windows will only allow so much before it stops reading it. Does Macintosh have the same thing, or are you simply limited to how much your mac can hold?

[aquaaura56]

that is a bad generalization a 64 bit windows system will see 8 gb i believe

[FLCProductions]

mac pro can hold 32 gigabites of ram

mac book: 4 g

macbook pro: i think 8 g

i mac: 8 gb

mac mini: 2 g

and macbook air: 1g

[creativeatheart]

macbook air comes standard with 2gb's, but yh with mac's, you're simply limited to the ammount the logic board can hold, not on what the OS was told to recognise.

[SoooooBehindert]

@GlennWolsey with a 64-bit Os you can have up to 192 gigs :-D

[WoWLord101]

@GlennWolsey Windows 64-bit can support 192 GB of Physical Memory Win7 Ultimate, this does depend on the OS, results may vary on different OS
