I just purchased a MP 2009, will firmware upgrade it and add two X5690 processors. Can you recommend a reliable Samsung part number that will be compatible? I need 6x16GB of RAM because the editing through a WX 7100 video card. I searched for a while I could see referenced M393B4G70BM0-YH9
 
I did some research and they are currently the cheapest 1333 10600. Looking for affordable 16GB RAM bars, fully compatible with a firmware upgraded Mac.
 
This is the Samsung RDIMMS I'm using. 6x16gb in a 2010 and 3x16gb+8gb in a 2009. (EBAY LINK) $45 per 16GB is the going rate. You may be able to pick up one here or there for 40.
