Mac Pro Memory

[JimT1701]

I have a bunch of excess 2GB memory modules from my HP servers. They are PC3-10600R ECC memory modules made by Samsung with HP stickers on them. Would these work in a 2009 or 2010 Mac Pro? Trying to save money on a memory upgrade. Does Apple do anything "Special" to their memory?

I had a bad experience.....

with Samsung memory in my Mac Pro. But maybe I got a bad batch or something....

Apple doesn't do anything proprietary to the memory they put into their systems, including Mac Pros. But, they do have rigorous standards as to speed/timing/cooling. Check the specs and you'll know if it works.
