Hi Mate,

32 GB 8 4gb  memory chips or whatever you call them.  But I only have 8 1gb
of these memory things installed into my mac pro.  They were bloody easy to
install for a blindy as well.  My dream machine as far as mac pros go would
have been the two quad cor  3.2  processors with 32gb ram but that's being a
bit greedy I think.  As it is I have two quad cor processors but they are
only 2.8.,  Still she runs pretty good.

That's cool as heck. How many GB does the Pro hold? Isn't it something  
like 16 GB now?
