OWC ANNOUNCES NEW “QUICK INSTALL” GUIDE FOR
LOW-PRICED MAC PRO 800MHZ MEMORY
February 8, 2008, Woodstock, IL, — Other World Computing (OWC)
(http://www.macsales.com), a leading Mac and PC technology company and
leading after-market supplier of memory upgrades for the Mac Pro, today
announced its new “Quick Install” Guide for OWC Memory Upgrade Kits for the
latest Mac Pro 8-Core Xeon models for the fastest, easiest installation a

upgrades offer a savings of well over 70% as compared to factory-installed
and other competitors.
There are some slight changes to the memory riser configuration vs. the
prior model, so users need to plan for a slightly different memory
installation procedure. To simplify the process, OWC has created both a
standard “Quick Install” Guide included with every Mac Pro 800MHz Memory
set shipped and an online video installation guide to show just how easy it
is to install. As OWC’s guide and online video affirms (see
(http://eshop.macsales.com/how_to_install/Apple/Mac_Pro_Memory_800Mhz_2008)
for video), Mac Pro memory is an easily user installable upgrade.
OWC (FB-DIMM) 800MHz DDR2 72-Bit ECC fully-buffered Memory Upgrade Modules
are available in matched sets of 1.0GB, 2.0GB, and 4.0GB modules for up to
32.0GB of total memory (see full pricing info below).
