Mac Pro supposedly supports registered ECC memory but I recently bought 128gb worth of 1866mhz ram and it didn't like it. Apparently the speed clocks down on 128gb to 1066 so I'm wondering...

    So I’ve posted about this before but I’m running out of patience. I’ve had my Mac Pro 6,1 trash can since release. Ironically in the first few weeks of owning it I had a fault., naturally 7£k is a big chunk of money, so with it being so new it was replaced outright by Apple. This in recent...
