Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Can anyone recommend good RAM to bulk up my Mac Pro?

I've got the 2x2gHz with Dual-Core Intel Xeon, with 2 sticks of 512mb  
DDR2 FB-DIMM, and want to double the RAM.

In the past I bought from OWC, but twice now I've had to return the  
RAM because of kernal errors, so am looking for an alternative that  
works on my computer but fits my dirt-poor budget.

Thanks,

Gregory

I'm told that Cancom UK provide Kingston which they recommend. I've
used Crucial in my G5 (pre Intel) with success.

We have been specifying a slightly more expensive RAM with Apple- 
style heat sinks that has been working in the Mac Pro's. We buy this  
generically, it's been fine.

It's about $195 for a 2GB kit (2x1GB), $170 for a 1GB kit (2x512MB.)

They need to be installed in pairs.

The RAM that OWC may have been sending you might be cheaper RAM with  
less robust heat sinks. We have had machines come back here with  
issues relating to heat and RAM.

I have had reliable success with "http://memoryx.com/" (remove quotes)

The I.T. guy at my company swears by them for every type of Mac in our company (that's over 30 Apple computers; everything from iMacs to MacPro towers & G3's, G4's & G5's!)
I bought & installed RAM from MemoryX for my G4 PowerBook which is what I compose on with Logic. I'm maxed out at 2 Gigs and don't have any issues with their RAM.
It's been a year and my PowerBook is doing ok.

Good luck with your RAM hunt.

Charlie

I have purchased RAM for three different Macs from OWC.  No problems so
far.  Their URL is:
