Double Check This RAM will work in my MAC PRO please?

Hi!
I'm going to upgrade the RAM in my Mac Pro from 2006. Here are the model details:
Model Name: Mac Pro
  Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
  Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
  Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
  Number Of Processors: 2
  Total Number Of Cores: 4
  L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
  Memory: 5 GB
  Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
  Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B08
  SMC Version (system): 1.7f10
  Serial Number (system): G8*****UPZ
  Hardware UUID: 00000000-0000-1000-8000-0017F20212FC
I'm thinking of buying this RAM on eBay, because I don't have much money. Will this RAM work okay? Any recommendations/advice?
Here's the link:

Thanks for your help!

Amazon has the FBDIMMs and at excellent price. Can't say the same for OWC on price or quality really when it comes to those FBDIMMs. OWC 'sometimes' has had a lot of trouble - or people on here with having to go through multiple exchanges with new sets back in 2009-10 plus charge much higher.
They want 3x what I paid for 16GB and they are not even as good let alone better even in support and warranty.
"Came with software" you don't own is what that usually means, not the license and master copy etc.
I keep my 1,1 running and yes dumped a lot $$ into it over the years, probably longer than warranted (did a lot of upgrades in 2013: ATI 5770, Sonnet Tempo, 16GB FBDIMMs) and I keep upgrading and replacing SSDs went from 128GB to 250GB to 500GB and moving some to the Sonnet Tempo SSD.
It does not qualify as 64-bit firmware (EFI32 vs UEFI EFI64) and has lesser PCIe 1.0 and only 1 - 16x, 1 - 8x, 1  - 4x, and 1 - 1x slots. So graphic card in 8x or 16x and your most demanding card. Only the lower slot is double-wide for most any graphic card.
Lion stopped getting security updates last month too, and some software more and more requires 10.8 or above. There are ways to force those to run on 2006, might be fun if you have the mind set of a programmer or like to fiddle with operating systems.
I already pointed to Amazon and brand and mentioned those keep to 59*C and have them in mine for nearly two years.
I think even with the cost of Windows 8.1 license I assembled (already had case and PSU and SSD/HDD) an i7-4771 PC for $800, vs. the cost of upgrades I did in 2013 alone on my Mac Pro which though has stood me well for 8 years. People that already own one feel fine upgrading, and some have replaced processors for 8-core 5355s when that made sense and could use it now that you can find ebay pair for $100 or even less. But Sonnet Tempo Pro etc today? I just wish there was a desktop - 4-core (not dual core), not soldered memory. A step above the Mac-Mini. And a Mac-Mini fully configured costs way too much for my tastes.

  • Has anybody gotten a RocketRAID 640 working in a Mac Pro?

    I have a RocketRAID 640 I purchased, based on the fact that it "had OS X drivers". Unfortunately l'm running into a bit of a snafu here.
    The English website (www.highpoint-tech.com) shows for the RR640 drivers that "Mac drivers are available at http://hptmac.com/cn". This is their Chinese website of all places (why, if it has Mac drivers are they not listed on the English site?). I recently was contacted by their tech support, and they appear to be totally clueless why their driver isn't working.
    Ya see, the one they link to is this one:
    http://www.hptmac.com/US/productfiles/HPT-Quad-eSATA-mac-v100-100120.dmg
    But it's on the Chinese website. Yay?
    So here's the issue: The .kext file's info.plist shows an IOPCIPrimaryMatch entry of "6441103". Breaking that down, the 1103 is the Marvell 9128 SATA controller (there are two on the card, oddly at x1 link width). The 644 is the ID of the card the driver is looking for in order to load. In other words, the driver (RR64x.kext), from the installer packaged labeled "RR644M" (for RocketRAID 644 Mac), will only see the RR644, but not the RR640 which I have. Unfortunately, injecting the proper IOPCIPrimaryMatch entry into the .kext file renders the .kext useless as it becomes a file that has "been installed incorrectly and cannot be used", because a user (me) modified it.
    Has anybody gotten this card to work in a Mac Pro in OS X (it works fine in Windows on a Mac Pro) other than the inability to use CTRL-H to activate its BIOS configuration utility at bootup)? And if so, what driver are you using?
    I've lost three days worth of work/"fun time" to trying to figure this out. I don't know why the card is so hard to get working, since functionally it's identical to the 644, only instead of eSATA ports they're all internal. Even the controllers used are the same, as is the link width of the card itself (but apparently not the firmware?).
    I knew HighPoint had ridiculously bad support, but their hardware in general is rock solid (once you get it up and running). I kind of want my Vertex 3s to finally run speedy. I'd really hate to have to get a 6Gbps SAS card instead (and it'd have to be bootable which is EXPENSIVE) in order to plug into my Mac Pro 1,1's SAS cable that it uses to control the four internal HD bays (though that would give the HD bays native 6Gbps speed!).

    Highpoint RR Quad eSATA for Mac is sold on Apple Store
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/H1113LL/A
    with 4 favorable comments, from one that flashed the firmware for EFI32 to be bootable (odd, as they said they had "Early 2008" which does not jive), a few with 2010 models.
    Sonnet, FirmTek or other with 6G PCIe controller IF it does not need to be bootable (you said you wanted that); and, you aren’t going to be pushing for really high performance with a single SSD.

  • Anyone knows whether this method will work?

    Hi,
    I am trying out this method to construct an applet but I couldn't get it to work.Does anyone here know whether this method will work and how to debug it.Thanks.
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.applet.Applet;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    public class Project extends Applet implements ActionListener {
    private Button circle, square;
    private Model aModelInstance;
    public void init() {
    circle = new Button("Circle");
    add(circle);
         circle.addActionListener(this);
         square = new Button("Square");
         add(square);
         square.addActionListener(this);
    aModelInstance = new Model();
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
         aModelInstance.display(g);
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
    if (event.getSource() == circle)
    aModelInstance.getCircle();
    if (event.getSource() == square)
    aModelInstance.getSquare();
    repaint();
    class Model {
         private aModelInstance.display(g)
         public void getCircle() {
         g.setColor(Color.red);
    g.fillOval(145,89,122,122);
    private aModelInstance.display(g)
         public void getSquare() {
    g.setColor(Color.green);
    g.fillRect(145,89,122,122);
    public void display(Graphics g) {
    }

    It will work for the most part put there is a few problems that you would have to work out. Most of the problems are in the inner class Model. I commented out a couple of lines in there that did not make sense. In the getSquare() & getCircle() methods you are referring to the variable 'g' where there was no declaration for that variable, in Model. So I modifed the method to have an input parameter of Graphics, that will need to be passed to the method. Then I modified the code in Project so that it passes Graphics when it calls those methods.
    The code now compiles cleanly but there is still some work for you to do. You should modify the getSquare() and getCircle() methods to return the Graphics. Then in the actionPerformed() method, call the paint method with the returned Graphics. Good luck.
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.applet.Applet;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    public class Project extends Applet implements ActionListener {
    private Button circle, square;
    private Model aModelInstance;
    public void init() {
    circle = new Button("Circle");
    add(circle);
    circle.addActionListener(this);
    square = new Button("Square");
    add(square);
    square.addActionListener(this);
    aModelInstance = new Model();
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
    aModelInstance.display(g);
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
    if (event.getSource() == circle)
    aModelInstance.getCircle(this.getGraphics());
    if (event.getSource() == square)
    aModelInstance.getSquare(this.getGraphics());
    repaint();
    class Model {
    //private aModelInstance.display(g)
    public void getCircle(Graphics g) {
    g.setColor(Color.red);
    g.fillOval(145,89,122,122);
    //private aModelInstance.display(g)
    public void getSquare(Graphics g) {
    g.setColor(Color.green);
    g.fillRect(145,89,122,122);

    I have a Linksys 10/100 5 port workgroup switch attached to an Airport Extreme to expand the number of ports. Does anyone know if this setup will work properly?

    Sure - just be aware that it will limit you to 100Mb/s internal network speed. If you want to be able to transfer files internally on your network faster, look into a gigabit switch.

  • How this Function will work

    Hi,
    Below these are my variables
    Circ
    Circle
    Circumference
    radius
    Area
    and now i want to know what is this below  syntax means. i mean to ask below they r using " =>" how this function will work exactly plz can anyone explain me ,it will be great helpful to me.
    circ = circle=>circumference( radius ).
    area = circle=>area( radius ).

    Hi,
    It is a <b>Class Component Selector</b>.
    The label  <b>class=>comp</b> can be used to access a static component comp of a class without an instance of the class having to be created. The character => is the class component selector. The label class of a class must be to the left of the class component selector. The name comp of the component must be to the right of the object component selector.
    The class component selector can also be used to access the data types and constants of an interface.
    ifac=>type, ifac=>const
    The label ifac of an interface must be to the left of the class component sector. The name type of a data type defined with TYPES or a constant defined with CONSTANTS must be to the right of the object component selector.
    <b>Note</b>
    It is also possible to access the static components of a class using the object component selector if an instance of the class was created.
    <b>Example</b>
    Declaration of a class factory and access to its static attribute oref.
    CLASS factory DEFINITION CREATE PRIVATE.
      PUBLIC SECTION.
        CLASS-DATA oref TYPE REF TO factory.
        CLASS-METHODS class_constructor.
        METHODS do_something.
    ENDCLASS.
    CLASS factory IMPLEMENTATION.
      METHOD class_constructor.
        CREATE OBJECT oref.
      ENDMETHOD.
      METHOD do_something.
      ENDMETHOD.
    ENDCLASS.
    factory=>oref->do_something( ).

  • Will this hard drive (Seagate ST1500DL003 Barracuda Green Hard Drive) work in a mac pro?

    Have a mac pro at my church that has a 500 gb and a 1 tb hard drive but since we do a lot of video editing on it the hard drive fills up fast but was wondering if the Seagate ST1500DL003 Barracuda Green Hard Drive
    would work in the mac pro 1,1 just need some more storage and maybe a time machine back-up?

    I have seen a lot of change in Green drives and new models, be sure the reason it is cheap is trying to off load and get rid of stock.
    Some people have no trouble and use them without issue. External USB for TimeMachine can result in the drive parking and OS X and TimeMachine losing communicating. While others have used them even in arrays inside w/o trouble.
    3TB Green has been popular. I've only used 1 and 1.5TB though.

  • Will 1.5Tb or 2Tb works on a Mac Pro

    Just out of curiosity, will the newest 1.5 and 2 Tbytes HD works on a Mac Pro ?
    The documentation talk about 1Tbyte disks, and up to 4 Tbytes total, but this may just be because that was the available disk size at the time the Mac Pro early 2009 came out ...

    They work perfectly and you'll find those limits documented were simply because the drives weren't available at the time. I have a 1.5Tb Seagate Barracuda in mine and it's perfect.
