Just ordered 8GB of ram from OWC.<br>I am ready to boogie!<br><br><br>

[censored] batman, that's a load of ram!<br><br>Now I gotta find a new MB that allows more than 8GB to play catch up ;)<br><br><br><br>Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!®

WOW 8Gb.... are you making 70MM movies ??<br><br>Lord of the Rings SF/X ?<br><br><br>geez put that with 8 core Mac...and dang you can even beat HAL !!! <br><br>David (OFI)

On top of the two it comes with, right?<br><br>&#63743; &#63743; &#63743; &#63743;

Yes, that is correct.<br>Problem though...<br>I've heard that an ideal configuration is 2GB x 4. <br>The extra 1GB x2 may be more of a handicap. 2GB handicap?<br>I don't understand the explaination but here it is:<br>2GB X 4 is best due to the combination of benefits of performance, power consumption, thermal profile.<br>The performance is ideal because groupings of four FB-DIMM allow 256 Bit memory access<br>The power consumption is less because 4 FB-DIMM use 1/2 the power of 8<br>The thermal profile is better because fewer FB-DIMM generate less heat and allow more airflow.<br> <br><br><br>

A Casio calculator probably has more power than HAL these days <br><br>[color:blue]"are you making 70mm movies?"</font color=blue><br>For one thing I batch process HD movies.<br><br><br><br>

No need to play catch up.<br>Like you said, you can beat me in somethings and I can beat you in others.<br>I think we can call it a draw. <br><br><br><br>

What's the problem? Sell that ram that comes with the Mac Pro.<br><br>my photos

Yes, that is my plan. <br><br><br><br><br>
