The Mac Pro DDR2 series (800Mhz) uses a type of memory called an FB-DIMM.

The DDR3-1066 DIMMs for the Mac Pro require a Thermal Sensor for full performance and compatibility. Mac Pro Memory for Models 4.1 and 5.1 8-Core and 4-Core
The DDR3-1333 DIMMs for the 2010 Mac Pro require a Thermal Sensor for full performance and compatibility. Mac Pro Memory for Model 5.1 12-Core and 6-Core The machine has four slots that can take up to 32GB* per slot for. The latest model of the Mac Pro takes DDR3-1866Mhz RAM. But, i don't know if the next era of Mac Pro's will be a guaranteed 5-8 year investment, we all know Apple are planning moves into their own CPU architecture for starters. I've always gone with the Mac Pro's for the longterm investment that they offer, the expandability and resilience during summer months when they're being ran under load.

That's why i've always invested into outboard where i can - due to that outboard mentally i've always been quite happy to render tracks down to audio too, as that's what i'm happiest with.įor someone who runs a professional studio, and likes everything to be processing in realtime so they can react quickly to client demand then great, they're getting most bang for their buck with any future Mac Pro, but for me, any upgrade in future will be to move with the version of Logic (Or rather MacOS), the processing power will be a (big) bonus, but it won't offer me anything else musically outside of the creative tools that Logic may/may not bring. The only thing they can do is try to make some new bus standard that the cheesgraters can’t support and say “here’s a fancy new Retina display that you have to buy a new macpro to use”, or something like that and I fully expect them to do something like that, but as far as I’m concerned our cheesgraters will remain very relevant for quite a while yetġ00% agree with you Dewdman, when you're looking at 5k+ machine to do what you're already doing then at some point you have to think about how it's benefitting you musically. It would be a shock to me if they release a pro that truly has the expandable architecture like the cheesgraters do. They seem to becoming out with more disposable computers that are marginally better each year. We shall see maybe they will but I’m doubtful. Honestly Apple would have to absolutely blow me away with something so incredibly better that I’d be willing to pay the extra cash and give up my box with pci slots and sata connectors inside. I also like that I can put several hd’s and ssd inside my box. Otherwise it just won’t be much of an improvement over the 2010/2012 macpros, especially those that had their cpu’s Upgraded. What they can benefit from is faster ssd technology and bus speeds so I expect a new Mac Pro will bring the next gen ports and probably an 8k retina monitor or something like that. Aside from gaming, most people just don’t need that much power. I plan to get one of those soon as well as a 4k monitor, my 2010 macpro is not being put to rest any time soon.Ĭomputers really aren’t coming out with much more memory then you can do right now either.
Same with the gpu but an rx560 is only about $130. But we don’t have any idea what kind of architecture an alleged new Mac Pro will have so that is a crap shoot I guess. $85 will get you a 500 gb ssd to boot from anyway. My 2010 macpro with 12 cores is doing great I don’t consider it sluggish at all! I put an ssd in it and you can always use any ssd you buy as additional sample storage. If they come out with something that great it will undoubtedly be well over $5k, wouldn’t surprise me if it approaches $10k loaded up. We shall see what happens in 2019 but I personally am not too hopeful.
