[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1373641, member: 56379"] I wanted to update my earlier post (did some additional research). Apparently 8-core Mac Pro's (since 2009) have a max ram limit of 96 gig of ram when running the Mac OS. If running a 64-bit version of Windows...then the max. ram that can be used is 128gig. Quote from Everymac.com: [i]"*Apple officially supports 32 GB of RAM in this model, but as first noted by OWC, it actually could support 64 GB of RAM. Later, OWC bumped this unofficial maximum RAM to 96 GB running Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7, and yet again to 128 GB, but only when running a 64-bit version of Windows XP or later or Linux. Mac OS X only can support 96 GB of RAM."[/i] So 96gig max for the Mac OS...128gig max for 64-bit Windows OS or Linux. - Nick [/QUOTE]
