Mac Memory Prices Slump Some More

For the Mac Pro, see Why I Always Have At Least 24GB memory. Any Mac Pro user with less than 24GB should see whether there is enough memory.

Apple memory remains expensive, for more on that topic, see my Jan 28 entry.

You can get 16GB for your 2011 MacBook Pro, but it remains quite expensive due to the cost of the higher density memory chips.

Mac Pro memory prices

Especially if you’re getting a 6-core Mac Pro, the 24GB kit is a no-brainer.

OWC also has a 48GB kit and 96GB kit using 16GB memory modules.

Many users can still do just fine with 12GB. Note that the 6-core model needs the 1333 MHz kit, but it’s only a few dollars more expensive than 1066 so just always get 1333 for all models.

Yes, you can put 48GB into a 4/6-core Mac Pro as 3 X 16GB modules. The 8/12-core models can take 48GB as 6 X 8GB, at lower cost.
