"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.
