Where should I purchase from for best price as well as quality. And how can I get help on how to install it and is it easy enough to do personally or do I need to get a genius to do it. Thanks Looking to upgrade to 6gb |

As far as difficulty of installation goes, if you never opened a computer in your life, it might be a challenge (although the tech support at Crucial should be able to walk you through it). But for the most part, the modules just clip right in. If you're even remotely handy, it shouldn't be an issue. Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics! |

I recommend OWC. They are cheaper than most of the competitors with the same lifetime warranty. http://www.macsales.com If you buy 2GB modules, install those where the 1GB modules are and move the 1GB modules to the second position on each board. The links already provided should say this. I was looking over the manual a few days ago that came with the Mac Pro and it explains everything quite clearly.  January 2008 Member of the Month |
