First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your recent purchase of a Mac Pro, I have been using one myself for the last 12 months after years of using windows based machines have never been happier with a computer than I have been with my Mac Pro. Just wanted to share 1 or 2 tips with you and maybe a few of your subscribers that may be holding out on a Mac purchase. One of the best programs I have been using I discovered through your site is VMware Virtual Desktop, which I have been running on my Leopard installation since its release. Prior to VMware I was using Boot-camp to run a few windows apps that I still use and PC based games. One of the great things about Leopard of course is Spaces, which allows you to run multiple desktop instances at once. While I use Spaces for everyday tasks, one of the most practical and useful things I now use spaces for is VMware virtual desktop.

I asked how much I should get. Andru answered:

Figured, I’d drop you a piece of advice as far as the RAM goes in the new Penryn-based Mac Pros (which I have.) I saw you were talking about having 2, 8, 16, or 32 GB in there. However, you aren’t limited in that fashion… not sure why you think those are your only options. Your RAM needs to be installed in pairs, and you get up to 4 pairs. Those 4 pairs do NOT have to match each other. I have 3 pairs of 2GB modules and 1 pair of 1GB modules in there, totaling 10GB.
