The top one is riser A. Mixing RAM from different vendors will cause failure.
The Mac Pro has two memory riser cards with a total of eight memory slots.
On each card, the slots are arranged as two banks of two slots each. The computer
comes with a minimum of 1 GB of memory, installed as a pair of 512 MB
FB-DIMMs in two of the DIMM slots. Additional DIMMs can be installed in
the open DIMM slots.
DIMMs must be installed in equal-sized pairs from the same vendor and fit
these specifications:
667 MHz FB-DIMMS
72-bit–wide 240-pin modules
Maximum 36 devices per DIMM
Error-correcting code (ECC)
NOTE When purchasing DIMMs for use in Mac computers, make sure
that the memory vendor conforms to the Joint Electron Device Engineering
Council (JEDEC) specification. Check with the memory vendor to ensure
that the DIMMs support the correct timing modes and that the Serial
Presence Detect (SPD) feature has been programmed properly, as described
in the JEDEC specification.
