System Specs: Mac Pro

Memory Slots: 8 (4 banks of 2; modules must be installed in pairs)
Maximum Memory: 32GB

Because accessing data from memory is much faster than accessing data from the hard drive, the more memory your system has, the faster your system can manipulate your data, resulting in greater application performance especially when working with large files and memory-intensive applications, such as graphics, audio, video and scientific applications.

The first generation Mac Pro uses 667MHz DDR2 fully buffered ECC memory, a leading edge industry-standard memory technology that allows for added memory capacity, higher speeds, and better reliability. To take full advantage of the 256-bit wide memory architecture of the Mac Pro, four or more FB-DIMMs should be installed.

Important Note: Apple created a more robust thermal specification for the Mac Pro FB-DIMM heat sinks that incorporate highly-engineered heat spreaders that dissipate heat more quickly to provide more efficient cooling than other FB-DIMMs. These specially-designed FB-DIMMs require less airflow to stay cool and allow the internal fans to spin at slower speeds, improving system acoustics. Apple has noted that FB-DIMMs made by other manufacturers that do not include a sufficient heat sink may cause the fans to run faster (and louder) or the memory chips to run slower to prevent overheating.
