At least that's what my Mac Pro is telling me.

I contacted him and asked what was going on....so far...no answer.

Probably should just shut up and be happy, but that's the first time I've gotten MORE than expected from eBay!

It's your choice. If you aren't happy with the product that the seller shipped to you, you can always ask for full refund.

There's an old American saying that goes like this:

If you are familiar with the Nehalem-Xeon architecture that's used in the Mac Pro 4,1 you probably understand why I was upgrading to 24GB and not 32GB. Same reason that having 48GB is actually better than 64GB, for most applications. I've had experience with other Nehalem-era Xeon systems in the past.

24GB you order are 6 x 4GB ram sticks?
I guess the seller kind of short of 4GB RAM sticks.
So he send you 6 x 8GB sticks in stead. It doesn't make significant difference of his profit.
Those RAM are flooding the PC parts market right now.
