Default Re: How much RAM for PT Native on Mac Pro 8 Core 2.26?

Correct but to optimize performance you should install in tripples 3+3 RAM modules in current MacPro´s.

Urban legend, or does apple not know this "secret"?

From the Mac Pro customization page...

6GB (6X1GB)
8GB (4X2GB) [Add $150.00]
12GB (6X2GB) [Add $450.00]
16GB (8x2GB) [Add $750.00]
24GB (6X4GB) [Add $2,550.00]
32GB (8x4GB) [Add $3,550.00]

Half of the options are not "threes"...

Now I'm not a Mac guy, but I believe what "threes" you do find in there are more the result of memory prices than of some performance benefit...

Just rockin'...what more is there?
