Hello All!
I know theres a few threads similar to this, but ive got a few questions.
I wanna get a mac pro (when the 8 core comes out) but i dont wanna upgrade it from the apple store because its too expensive! So ive been looking for memory and the non-apple heatsink memory is a lot cheaper. Would non-heatsinked memory be ok with the mac pro? I know the power is apparently throttled down when the memory overheats but i was wandering if this memory would:

Theres also the issue of quad channel on the Mac Pro. Seeing as the above parts are not matched, do you think there'd be a problem there? I hope to buy four of them.
Also, after browsing through the forum, there seems to be conflicting opinions on the Mac Pro's support of 3rd party IDE drives. I was hoping to get a pioneer DVD-RW drive as its 1/3 of the price of apple's Superdrive, does anyone know if this will work?
thanks for your time guys!
