* The base model starts at $2999, and that’s before external storage, backup drives, AppleCare, display, etc. Remember that upgrading later to 64GB means removing the existing modules-yet another downside of four (full) memory slots instead of eight. This recommendation is based on experience, but also measured Photoshop CC performance. Given the total system cost*, MPG recommends 64GB. The OWC 64GB OWC memory kit is what your author purchased for his own Mac Pro and what was used for all the performance tests. UPDATE: OWC supplies a plastic tool that completely avoids any risk to bending the latches. Backed by an OWC Limited Lifetime Warranty. Also, if a module does not show up, it probably is not seated fully (again, happened to your author, several times). All installed memory should be the same speed for best performance. It’s an awful design compared to the 2010 Mac Pro. In one machine it operated well, but the other latch was sticky right from the start, so it needed more force, and it was bent in the process.
NOTE: the memory latches in the 2013 Mac Pro are easily bent (personal experience). Memory is quad-channel and 1866 MHz with claimed bandwidth of up to 60GB/sec. The result is JEDEC-compliant memory that’s a perfect fit for a faster Mac. We start with the highest-quality components, and then create memory to the exacting speed, capacity, and programming specifications of nearly every upgradeable Apple computer. Update: 128GB memory in the 2013 Mac Pro is possible as of March 2014. OWC memory is specifically engineered for compatibility with your Mac. If and when 32GB memory modules become available (and the firmware is proven to work properly with them), a configuration of 4 X 32GB = 128GB should be possible. The 2013 Mac Pro has four memory slots, which means a 64GB memory limit as 4 X 16GB.
