Mac Pro 4/6-core — 48GB as 3 X 16GB
A 96GB kit for 8-slot and 12-core Mac Pros is about twice the 48GB kit price.
Mac Pro 4/6-core — 32GB as 4 X 8GB
A 32GB is a lot less costly than 48GB, and enough for many purposes, but serious Photoshop users should go straight to 48GB.
Mac Pro 12-core — 64GB as 8 X 8GB
A 64GB kit for 8-slot and 12-core Mac Pros.
Mac Pro 12-core — 96GB as 6 X 16GB
A 96GB kit for 8-slot and 12-core Mac Pros slightlly less than twice the 48GB kit price.
Mac Pro — 24GB as 3 X 8GB
Mac Pro — 12GB as 3 X 4GB
While adequate for some users, 12GB can easily be eaten up by programs like Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. Get 24GB preferentially.
