    Wanted to upgrade RAM on my fucking Mac Pro (Server), found out they still use FB-DIMM's with 800MHZ. 8GB is like $200.

    What pricks you are Apple, why on earth did you build that shitty mainboard with that shitty ram on it? It's useless slow, ultra expensive to upgrade...

    You piss me off more every day, Apple.

    • Dude, it's not Apple. Intel Xeons require memory with ECC, do your research, you had to know this since you bought iternexbcn
    • Cmon ernex, it's obviously apple trying to get rich. Buying 3rd party expensive ram profits apple the most and everyone knows that.monospaced
    • hahah mono :)ernexbcn
    • my computer at home is a Mac Pro late 2008, has 2 Xeons with 4 cores each, same RAM as you mekk, but I knew where I was getting into since I got iternexbcn
    • mehmekk
    • Xeons also run on socket 1150/1151 with non ecc ram. (with real computers.)mekk
    • I guess back then they also required fully buffered memory, perhaps ECC isn't a true requirement but the mainboard must follow the intel reference for those CPUernexbcn
    • You can get that ram really cheap on ebay from china.dorkKn1ght
    • Not to mention, those Xeon processors have a super long shelf-life. People are still buying these old ass mac pros and they perform great.dorkKn1ght
    • Mac mall?Hayoth
