Q: Mac Pro 2012
I bought a new mac pro 2012-12 core w/12GB memory. I like to add 2-4GB memory sticks. In which slots should I install the 2-4GB memory sticks?
Thank you,
Richard

the memory is in two goups, one on each side. Best is about the same amount on each side.
The largest modules go in slot 1 and 5 (front right and rear left).
Those OWC 8GB sticks may be a little strange -- I think they used to say those will not play nice with other sizes. Other reputable vendors that sell 8GB sticks may be using a different design that is not restricted. I just bought one from Data Memory Systems and put it in my 4-core Server, mixed with 2GB sticks and had no issues.
