I have a Mac Pro Mid 2010, Quad core. The article says not to mix registered with unregistered. So how do I find out which I have installed already? The system report just says - 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC, nothing else.

For the mac Pro 2010, the question to ask is, ¿What SIZE is each DIMM?
0.5GB, 1GB, 2GB, 4GB are all Unregistered in every case.
8GB could go either way -- older ones could be Registered, the ones you bought in the last few years are not.
16GB and 32GB are always Registered.

Thank you. That answers my question because the sizes are 4GB, 2, 2, and 2.
Look closely at the price of 8GB DIMMs. If you can get one for the price of 2 4GB DIMMs, then that is a better deal because it leaves more slots open for future expansion.
Always buy from a Vendor who promises:
"It works in your Mac,
or your money BACK!"
Otherwise you run the risk of owning truly excellent DIMMs, that do not happen to work in your Mac.
When the new ones arrive test them by themselves, to see if the work by themselves, then check whether they "play nice with others".
