Upgrade Your Computer with Lightning Speed Memory

This memory module upgrade is a fantastic ADDITION to any computer. It has improved my computer speed so much now my programs run seamlessly .The installation was simple, even for someone whos not highly experienced. The only downside is that it's a bit pricey, but the benefits it brings to your computer performance are well worth it..

Pros
  • Compatible with a wide range of Mac models
Cons
  • Does not offer the fastest memory speeds available

Works great on a 2009 8-core Mac Pro 2.26!

I bought 2 of these 8 GB RAM modules because my 2009 Mac Pro (octa-core, 2.26 x 2) would no longer boot. I've replaced the power supply and back panel - to no avail. I came across a post on a random forum that said I need at least 6GB of RAM for a Mac Pro. My computer had exactly that and one of the RAM modules failed. no longer loaded. I installed one of the modules in slot 1 and the other in slot 5 and after a few power cycles it booted up and has been working fine ever since.

Pros
  • OWC Memory Limited Lifetime Warranty including Extended Replacement Program
Cons
  • Security
