Update to the Mac

It’s been a while since my last blog about the Mac, and everything has been going great! I decided to take advantage of the falling prices of RAM, and upgraded to 16GB, which is the max that this Mac can take. I don’t think I should have any issues now! The WinTec ram was no longer available from Newegg, so I ended up purchasing Transcend. No issues with it, so I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an upgrade to their Mac Pro.

I also decided to backup my system and do a clean install of Leopard (OS 10.5). After a few months now of using Leopard, I’ve been very pleased with it. Everything runs great, and most, if not all, issues that I’ve had have been resolved!

WinTec RAM

Just wanted to give props to WinTec for taking care of my RAM issue. A while back I ordered RAM from newegg for my Mac Pro, and it sat around until I finally got moved into the building. When I put the RAM in the machine, 2 of the sticks were DoA, and the newegg return period had expired. So I got an RMA through WinTec, and I’m sure you guys are thinking the same thing I did…doesn’t even sound like a good company.

Not true. I spoke to a live person right away, got an RMA number, sent it out there, and got it back. All within two weeks, which is good considering it had to go back and forth to Cali.

So +1 for Wintec :)
Now I’m ready to go!!!
