Sep 20, 2012 8:53 AM in response to SydFby The hatter,2x2GB FBDIMM DDR2 667MHz @ $36http://www.amazon.com/BUFFERED-PC2-5300-FB-DIMM-APPLE-Memory/dp/B002ORUUAC/
- I would remove the 2x512, they don't add or make a difference other than 6-DiMMs is not idea, 8 would be. $75 for your 8GB and then you will need some other items like a new graphic card and disk drives.

I'd go with some new drives for system, media and editing. WD Black are popular as are SSDs now
WD Black Caviar

SSD: Samsung 830 128GB $99http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0077CR60Q/
WD VR 10K 250GB $103 200MB/sec boot drive :

- because a good idea and time to invest in a new system drive and keep the old one as is for backup for now and clone the new system over later.
For best performance on Mac Pro, install memory in risers symmetrically
The Mac Pro comes with two memory riser cards, each with four DIMM slots. With a total of eight slots, you can add up to 16 GB of memory.
Note: DIMMs must be installed in pairs of equal size from the same vendor. For instance, you must not have one or three DIMMs on either riser at any time. Additionally, two DIMMs from different vendors should not be combined and used as a pair.
Other configurations of DIMM pairs are still compatible with Final Cut Studio, but may not achieve the same performance levels as when DIMM pairs are installed on both risers evenly.
