With a series of memory modules specially designed for the Apple Mac®, A-DATA continues to please Apple enthusiasts by releasing DDR2 667 ECC Fully-Buffered DIMM memory modules for Apple Mac® Pro workstations. The Mac® Pro is the first Apple Computer Mac® Workstation Series to use the Intel platform. It features 64-bit Intel® Dual-Core Xeon™ (Woodcrest) processors with the Intel® 5000 (Dempsey) chipset, and is one of the fastest desktops currently available. A-DATA’s DDR2 667 FB-DIMM fully comply with the JEDEC 1.0 standard and use FBGA (Fine-pitch Ball Grid Array) 128Mb x 4 and 64Mb x 8 chips with a 10-layer PCB. Memory capacity ranges from 512MB to 2GB to meet users’ performance requirements. The modules include an Apple-specified heat spreader for optimum heat dissipation and strict adherence to the Mac® Pro’s system thermal specification. All of this attention to performance, reliability and compatibility testing help ensure A-DATA’s Apple Series memory modules are the best choice for users wanting maximum performance from their Mac® Pro or other Mac® systems. Look for these Apple Series Mac® Pro memory modules in all A-DATA sales channels now.

A-DATA announces the Number-1 DDR2-667 module which passes the ATI QVL in Taiwan, and this excellent module is avaliable now. Its density is 512MB, and other higher density module will be phased in soon. This module configuration is by 64M x 8 (512Mbit) die, 8 pcs dies in 1 rank. This DDR2 SO-DIMM is designed to meet the 667MHz data-rate specification of the JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) standard, but it seems to own the huge potentiality to draw out higher performance in A-DATA laboratories. By 1.8V low-voltage application, DDR2 modules can reduce about 50% power consumption, which is compared with 2.5V (DDR) power supply on the same operation speed. So it is an environment-friendly product. In order to achieve so amazing high operation speed, A-DATA applies the lower parasitic-loading FBGA (Fine-pitch BGA) package to run in full-speed without extraneous loading. Compared with DDR, DDR2 owns four key technologies pave the way to high-speed operation and low power consumption.
