Hi, I am desperately in need of some memory for my early 2009 mac pro. I think one of the modules has died as it only shows 2gb and there are 3gb worth of dimms. The system is bogging down every few minutes and i am getting spinning beach balls. I would normally buy from crucial, but for the last 10 days they have been out of stock, so , i am wondering if anyone has a reliable alternative source for mac memory that has the same guarantees? TIA Didge. |

I was going to suggest Kingston, but as their page here - http://www.kingston.com/tools/assessor/macosx.asp - is woefully out of date, I'm not sure I want to. |

Have you tried taking the RAM out of the machine, and just reseating it? It may just need a bit of a wiggle. |

Never used them before, but I've heard some good things about Mr Memory - without knowing more detailed specs about your Mac Pro I can't link to a specific price, as there are quite a few 2009 Mac Pros listed under the wizard menu. Try selecting your model in the list. |

The question is though, if crucial don't have any, will anybody else? |

OK I have ordered 6gb from mr memory. They were cheap (not sure that is good for memory ) and they had stock. £60 + vat for 6gb .. its guaranteed so if its rubbish it will go back .. Didge |

That was quick. It arrived today, free 1st class recorded. The dimms are kingston and so far so good .. I guess I have to recommend mr memory based on my experience so far .. 1/ cheapest. 2/ quick free delivery. 3/ works fine Didge |

I looked yesterday - their prices seemed pretty good. I may even up my Mac Pro to 10GB. |
