Buffalo Technology (Austin, TX) expanded its high-performance line of Apple memory products to include TechWorks 800MHz DDR2 fully buffered (FB) ECC modules. These modules are designed specifically for the new Apple Mac Pro and Xserve using Intel's Xeon quad-core processors.

Buffalo was able to design the TechWorks 800MHz FBDIMM modules to meet the new specifications Apple has set for the Mac Pro and Xserve due to their longstanding relationship. These specs include an advanced FBDIMM heat sink that enables accelerated cooling features for the Mac Pro to minimize air-flow requirements that, in turn, decreases fan speeds and overall case temperature.

The new TechWorks 800MHz FBDIMMs are available in 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB kits for the new Apple Mac Pro, allowing the user to upgrade their memory from 2GBs up to 16GBs. For the Xserves, the 800MHz FBDIMMs come in 2GB and 4GB kits, and also upgrades the memory from 2GBs up to 16GBs. Both the new Mac Pro and Xserve can operate with a 256bit memory bus (quad channel) if four identical modules or more of memory are installed together; otherwise the memory bus runs at 128bits (dual channel).

For more information on the TechWorks FBDIMM upgrade options for the Mac Pro or Xserve, or any Apple system, go to Buffalo or try its all-inclusive memory configurator.
