Hey, I'm building a new HTPC & server and wanted to see if anyone had some small sticks of DDR3 lying around before I go to the egg or bay.

I have piles of RAM out of Mac pro's. I am out of town until Friday, but if it can wait, I can mail you as many 4GB ECC registered sticks as you want.

LOL, what happened to them? I can give them a try. I can't find anything saying the board supports or doesn't ECC RAM. The boards only support 2 sticks each, so 4 would be fine. I'm not in a rush, so I can survive till you get back. Thanks!

Nothing bad. Apple charges a retarded premium for RAM, so we would buy them with the minimum, pull it, and put in whatever the client wanted (usually 32-64GB). Since they shipped with 2 4GB sticks, we just put them aside. These are all literally brand new, used once to make sure the machine would boot and thats it.

Oh, gotcha. I was wondering if you had a Mac Pro graveyard or something.

I did, sorry. I just looked for the box I had it all in and I cant find it. I'll give another look tomorrow, but not sure what I did with it at this point.

OK, thanks. I've been running my server on a spare 1gb stick I had and I had forgotten how evil virtual memory was.
