Consumers demand their systems have enough power and capabilities so they can create and edit their own digital media: audio, video, images. Adding system memory is one of the most effective ways to improve overall performance and Corsair’s Mac Memory offers a full line of options for upgrading the MacBook, the MacBook Pro and the Intel-based versions of the iMac family.
Built to Corsair’s legendary quality and reliability standards, each module is certified to run at 667MHz and is tested to ensure maximum compatibility with Apple products. Corsair Mac Memory allows users to maximize memory bandwidth and increase their system responsiveness.
Low Latency MacMemory
Corsair’s 4GB Mac Memory upgrade kit utilizes the industry’s first low latency modules specifically tuned for the new MacBook and MacBook Pro laptop computers. Testing has demonstrated that as much as a 28% overall system performance improvement is achieved with the new Corsair low latency memory modules versus standard Mac upgrade memory.

Mac Pro users demand the highest performance from their systems, especially when working with digital media applications. Corsair’s Mac Memory is specifically designed for rock-solid stability in demanding digital media rich environments. Corsair Mac Memory allows users to maximize memory capacity and throughput to increase their systems performance.
Mac Memory modules are Fully-Buffered DIMMs, or FB-DIMMs, which are different than the typical memory running in standard PCs. In an FB-DIMM module, the memory controller does not write directly to the memory module, but to a buffer, which then writes to the module. This buffer, the Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB) can also provide built-in error checking and correction.
Built to Corsair’s legendary quality and reliability standards, Mac Memory FB-DIMM modules are fully tested to ensure maximum compatibility and performance in Apple Mac Pro products. Adding system memory is one of the most effective ways to improve overall performance and Corsair’s Mac Memory offers a full line of choices for upgrading your specific Mac Pro platform. FB-DIMMs require two identical modules to be installed at once for proper operation.
Features:
-
DDR2 Fully-Buffered DIMM at 667MHz
-
Mac Pro specific heat sink on module
-
Carefully engineered data lines for noise immunity
-
Optimized clock lines for minimum skew
-
Built-in error checking and correction to ensure correct data (ECC)
