Hi! Since this is my first post, I'll introduce myself.
I work at a pro audio dealer here in MA. We have a few Macs that are used to demo software. I finally switched to a Mac after some time, myself
I've got an issue with one of our Mac Pros. It had 2GB (four 512MB sticks) in there, so I thought I'd upgrade and see how much it can improve. I got a 4GB kit (2GB sticks) and something strange happened when I installed them...
When I installed all 6GB (2GB in DIMM 1, 512MB in DIMM 2 and 3 on each card), only 2.5GB showed up. The first and third DIMM of card A showed up (the first 2GB and second 512MB), but nothing else.
I tried switching things around a bit, and installed the four 512MB in DIMM 1 and 2 of each card, then the 2GB in each card. This configuration showed the four 512MB sticks, but not the 2GB sticks.
I've tried other various combinations, but none have resulted in all 6GB being read.
I ran the hardware test and that showed what I saw under System Profiler.
Has anyone ran into this before? If so, what have you done to correct it?
Thanks a ton and I look forward to keep reading great tips and stories around here!
