[Plsfaculty] RAM upgrade for newish MacPros

[Eric Lyons]

Hi All,

I've been upgrading a couple of servers and have a lot of extra RAM that might be useful for people with MacPros built from 2009 onward (Model Number MacPro4,1-5,1).  These are 4GB DDR3 ECC DIMMs.  Depending on the model of MacPro you have, you may be able to use 4 or 8 of these DIMMs for 16-32GB of total RAM.

If you (or your group) has a MacPro and you want to check if you can use these RAM modules:

1. Click on the apple in the upper right corner of menu bar
2. Select "About this mac"
3. Press "More info..." in the popup box
4. Select Memory from the hardware list on the right.

If you see that your memory type is DDR3, you can use this RAM.  (Image attached from my machine)

I'll be in my office today, 441F Marley, from 11am-3pm.  Come on by -- first come first serve.

Also, these will work in various windows/linux machines of about the same age, but it is up to you to figure out if they will work.

Best,
-eric
