So i have the following:
4 x 512mb in top riser
4 x 2gb in bottom riser
Total 10gb
On a Mac Pro, not sure if optimal or not and what the best configuration might be any help appreciated.
Thanks

2x2GB (slots closer to logic board) + 2x512MB (slots closer to door) on each card is marginally better.
The inner slots are lower latency, so it puts more capacity (8GB vs 5GB) in a lower latency position.

Wait - I agree that the larger capacity card should be placed closest to the logic board but shouldn't the 2 GB modules be spread out out where two 2GB modules be placed on the top and the other two 2GB modules be placed on the bottom riser? Then fill in the rest of the slots with the 512 modules?

That's what I said.
