Mac Pro Quad/Oct Core RAM
A recommendation by jthurkettle

The Mac Pros are great machines. However sometimes you just need a little more ram then you started with. If you purchase your RAM from Apple you pay a huge premium. Consider - for 16GB of RAM (8x2GB) Apple charges $3500 but if you buy the memory directly it costs $1040. You pay 336% EXTRA to have Apple put the ram into your machine. Crazy! If your happy working with the insides of a computer you would, naturally, want to install your own ram. Apple is not directly forthcoming with the memory specifications. After taking a Mac Pro apart I found they use : DDR2 PC2-6400F-555 RAM, or to say that in English [sorta] DDR2 800Mhz Fully Buffered CAS latency of 5-5-5. The link is direct to Kingson where you can order this memory, but any size of memory will work so long as you purchase in pairs [two separate RAM chips].
