Transcend has announced the availability of 2GB DDR2-800 fully-buffered DIMM
(FB-DIMM) designed specifically for Apple's high-end Mac Pro systems. The Mac
Pro is based on 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
(2x1GB FB-DIMMs). Transcend's 2GB FB-DIMM gives Mac Pro users the option to
fully populate all eight slots for a total capacity of 16GB. With the Mac Pro's
efficient memory architecture that supports four simultaneous memory channels,
Transcend's 800MHz frequency FB-DIMM delivers good bandwidth, allowing transfer
rates up to 25GB per second.

It is also equipped with 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 on any errors found. This feature is essential
for performing compute-intensive tasks on a Mac Pro workstation, as it can
greatly reduce the risk of computational errors, while at the same time increase
overall system stability.
