I am looking to upgrade the memory in my Mid 2010 5,1 6-core Mac Pro and I want to get to at least 48gb. If I understand correctly it is best to use 3 sticks (like I am currently doing... 3x4gb) due to the triple channel memory controller. Is there really a noticeable difference in running 3x16gb vs 4x16gb? If I buy the 4x16gb from the eBay link below is best to leave one stick uninstalled?
Can someone help me verify if these would work and any advice on where to buy or what a good deal is? I am very much a noob...
