8.0GB Mac Pro Early 2009 Memory Matched S... (85MP3E2M08GK) at OWC

Newegg.com - Kingston 8GB (4 x 2GB) DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) ECC Memory For Apple Model KTA-MP1066K4/8G

It seems as though the Kingston on Newegg may not have thermal sensors?

Newegg over OWC any day.

What leads you to believe the Kingston for Mac Pro lack thermal sensors? There are no reviews indicating that and Kingston's site clearly specifies "with thermal sensors."

I couldn't find any 8 Gb RAM modules at Newegg.

The Kingston's are out for a few days! I wonder if anyone has any opinions on the Patriot name...no reviews on those yet.

If you are buying 4 Gb RAM modules, I'd go to crucial. Their quality is superb, and the price difference is negligible.
