I read too fast. It is indeed the standard base model (cheapest!) so this seems to fit what you suggest: http://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/mac-pro-4-core-mid-2010/CT6638712 Thanks for the assistance:)

Thanks. That site says I can use 64gigs of RAM... It also says I have 8 slots for RAM but About this Mac says I have 4 (I've installed RAm in the past, pretty sure it is 4). So now still confused;) I copied and pasted the serial so doesn't seem to be the wrong one. Let's assume it's 32 in 4 slots... I'm concerned that I lose the crucial guarantee if I order stuff they don't say their scanner supports. And on Registered and Unregistered, the apple page also warns not to mix them. However I don't see how to see whether the RAM I have installed is U or R. Do you know how I can tell? I've got serial numbers etc but can't see any mention of RDIMM or UDIMM. I'm hoping to keep 2 of the ones I have already rather than buy an entire set. I appreciate the response, sorry to just fire back more (I really know very little about RAM, you can probably tell...)

Hi folks Got some discrepancies here I need help with. According to the About this Mac window I have a Mac Pro (mid 2010) with 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon. If I follow through via that the Memory tab of that window to Memory Upgrade Instructions (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205043) I get a page that says it supports 32 gigs of RAM. - PC3-10600E, 1333 MHz, DDR3 SDRAM UDIMMs and RDIMMs - Error-correcting code (ECC) - 72-bit wide, 240-pin ECC modules - 36 ICs maximum per ECC UDIMM Ok, If I run the Crucial scanner it says I have "Apple Mac Pro Quad-Core MC250LL/A Mid 2010" and offers only SSDs -- no RAM visible, just SSDs offered. But it does say I can only have 16 gigs of RAM. If I choose Apple Mac Pro 4-Core Mid 2010 from the Crucial Advisor tool (a separate entry from the MC250LL/A), it gives me 32 gigs max RAM and some actual suggestions (eg http://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/mac-pro-4-core-mid-2010/CT6638712). So -- does anyone know which Mac Pro I have?;) And if it is the 16 gig 250LL/A, can I get any memory from Crucial? (I'll probably go for one pair of 8 gigs, and leave the 2gig ones I have in the other slots - if that's a bad idea, I'd appreciate a heads-up). Thanks for any help someone can give me (The RAM in here was bought from crucial years ago but sadly I don't remember what machine it said I have).

Dear all I ordered the 256 Gb C300 for my November unibody MB 13.3"...(this is the one without firewire that soon got changed to have FW). It arrived today so I installed it straightaway. When i first installed it, the MB thought that the disk was at 128 degrees c and cranked up the fans to max very soon. Not quiet/extended battery... Then I installed the firmware update successfully and started all over again. Now it thinks the disk is at zero degrees but still seems to be cranking up the fans! I'd appreciate some reality checks here: does the disk even have a temperature sensor? If so, what temperature are other people's C300s running at in Macs? Does it simply sound like it's faulty? I've dismantled it all from the start and checked everything is seated properly, reset the SMC (more than once) and so on. I think i'm almost hoping it is faulty -- because otherwise I'm not going to be able to use it at all, which would be really annoying now I've seen how responsive the machine is with it installed...
