Is Memory From On Maker better than Multiple Makers?

Question

Is Memory From On Maker better than Multiple Makers?

I use a mid 2012 Mac Pro; run Mavericks 10.9.5. I would like to install memory to my Mac so that it is completely full of memory. I would need three (3) 16GB memory modules for a total of 48GB.

1. Is it better to buy the three (3) 16GB modules from one manufacturer (same brand; same memory capacity)? or

2. Buying from three (3) different manufacturers of 16GB modules (3 different brands; same memory capacity)?

3. Is there any difference in performance?

Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), mid 2012 Mac Pro

3. There can be

Stick with Crucial or OWC as far as RAM goes. Both will match the correct modules to your Mac, and both offer a lifetime warranty.
