Don't buy your RAM from MaxUpgrades

[Silencio]

I too bought a set of the 2x2GB Mac Pro DIMMs from MaxUpgrades. I usually buy from Datamem by default, or from OWC if I need to order parts in addition to RAM at the same time, but MaxUpgrades' prices on their 4GB FBDIMM kits came in almost $200 under Datamem and OWC. So far, so good.

Quick update

I just wanted to let everyone know that the second set of 2x2GB ram is correct. I have been using it continuously for almost a week now. It has handled every stress test and normal usage with NO ECC errors. (yay!)

So, at least the second set works. It took several days to get the exchange but all is well now.

Now if I could only figure out why my right LCD panel is FLICKERING!! It is driving me nuts.

Later,

Mark

Yeah, that's not the way to win friends and customers.

Just for comparison, we ship any DOA replacements in advance, with a prepaid return shipping label for the customer to ship back at no charge -- after the new RAM is in and working. Milo, if you are in the US, and want to change horses, I recommend Data Memory Systems, I have torture tested their model of RAM in a MacPro for 24 hours continuous Rember looping, no heat or error problems.

Are their heatsinks ok to use? Same standard as Apples? Or does it not come with a heatsink at all?
