In an attempt to save money, many Mac users would rather buy and install their own memory, rather than getting it bundled with a new system. To serve those needs with Apple’s newest desktop, Other World Computing has begun shipments of the new Fully Buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) 667MHz DDR2 72 Bit ECC (error correcting) memory upgrade kits for new Mac Pro.
The Intel-based Mac Pro Quad Xeon requires memory be installed in matched sets. OWC Mac Pro upgrade kits are matched pairs of FB-DIMM modules which comply with Apple’s more robust specifications that exceed standard JEDEC and include the use of Apple Qualified Head Spreaders. All OWC Memory is backed by a lifetime warranty.
OWC Mac Pro Memory Upgrades are currently priced from $559 and offered in matched sets of 1GB or 2GB modules available in kits from 2GBs and up to 16GBs total. A cash-back rebate of up to $350 per set is available for Apple factory memory trade-ins.
