2GB DDR2-800 FB-DIMM for Apple Mac Pro
The Mac Pro is based on the Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5400 platform, and has a total of eight FB-DIMM memory slots, of which only two are used in standard configuration (2 x 1GB FB-DIMMs), the company says.
Transcend’s 2GB FB-DIMM aims to give Mac Pro users the option to fully populate all eight slots for a total capacity of 16GB. With the Mac Pro’s memory architecture that is designed to support four simultaneous memory channels, Transcend’s 800MHz frequency FB-DIMM is claimed to allow transfer rates up to 25GBps.
The DIMM is also equipped with a high-performance Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB) and Error Correction Code (ECC), which monitors the data that gets transferred in and out of memory and performs real-time correction of any errors found, Transcend adds.
This feature is said to be essential for performing mission-critical or compute-intensive tasks on a Mac Pro workstation, as it aims to reduce the risk of computational errors, while at the same time increasing overall system stability.
