I am going to install 14 GB of memory in my Mac Pro.
The following diagram shows how I am going to do it.
Does anyone agree or disagree?

You pulled that off of the diagram of RAM installations, didn't you? Then why would we have any complaints? If those are the sets of RAM that you have, go at it. Have fun! Don't wear socks or move around much!

Yes, I did.
But I think those instructions are actually from the original Mac Pro.
I'm just not positive that they apply to the 2008 Mac Pro.
 
I wonder why only 14GB? If you buy 12GB, just buy the other 4GB too... looks much better.... Who cares about 1GB sticks ?
 
I hope you didn't think my answer was meant serious :-D

Yes I thought you were serious and it's a good idea if I had the money.

I don't use emoticons very much but sometimes they help
As a friend once said to me, "Didst thou forget thy winky?" :)

Well I have to money, but I didn't think it was worth it. I just bought 4x 2GB and after reading these kind of threads about it being faster if I put in the extra 2 GB, I now have 10GB. And have totally no clue anymore about why it is faster...

That we need pairs is okay, have needed those for a long time now...

This memory stuff is giving me a headache....fill all 8 slots, more latency, more bandwidth, same size dimms, top riser, bottom riser, etc. etc. etc. :eek:

Here is yet another chart (from Barefeats) to add to the charts that I don't know what the heck they are saying...
