Indeed so. Manufacturers now specify the TOTAL amount of RAM contained in a RETAIL package. Example: a two stick package may be stated to be 4 GB, and the RAM will indeed be marked 4 GB, but it will also state 2 x 2 GB. Another example: a three stick package (for, say, an X79 system) may be stated to be 6 GB, and the RAM will indeed be marked 6 GB, but it will also state 3 x 2 GB. I have quite a few so-called "6 GB sticks". The precise language printed on EACH stick in a set of sticks is: 1333 MHz 6 GB (3 x 2 GB) 9-9-9-24 1.50 V ver 2.12 -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
