FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., April 10 /PRNewswire/ — Kingston Technology
Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today
announced the release of 800MHz DDR2 fully-buffered dual-inline memory
(FB-DIMM) specifically designed and validated for Apple Mac Pro
workstations and Xserve server systems. Shipping immediately, the
Kingston(R) 800MHz FB-DIMM memory kits are available in 2GB, 4GB and 8GB
capacities.
“Kingston is a member of the Apple Developer Connection(C) and our new
800MHz FB-DIMMs were thoroughly tested at the Apple validation labs on
their latest 8-Core Xeon Mac Pro Workstation to ensure product quality and
compatibility,” said Don Beauchamp, manager, product engineering, Kingston.
“To optimize performance, we recommend upgrading Mac Pro memory to at least
four FB-DIMMs to enable running in quad-channel mode.”
Delivering up to 25.6 GB/s bandwidth with four memory channels active,
Kingston 800MHz FB-DIMMs match the bandwidth needs of the latest Quad-Core
Xeon processors. The 2GB and 4GB 800MHz FB-DIMMs enable a flexible upgrade
path while leaving plenty of headroom for future RAM expansion.
Launched in January, the new Mac Pro models use one or two Quad-Core
Intel Xeon 5400 series (Harpertown) processors. Mac Pro systems are
designed with eight memory sockets that accept individual module capacities
up to 4GB and a system maximum of 32GB.
Kingston FB-DIMMs are backed by a lifetime warranty and 24/7 technical
support.
