OWC shipping iMac memory upgrades


Other World Computing (OWC) has announced that it is offering Memory Upgrade Kits of up to 4.0GB for Apple's just-announced iMac Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz, 2.4GHz and "extreme" 2.8GHz models, which are now shipping.

"We're all about maximizing performance, and impressively, we've found there can be better performance attained even between 2.0GB and 3.0GB memory configurations than getting a new system with a faster processor," said Larry O'Connor, president. "More memory makes a tremendous difference, as our real-world testing illustrates, and the 4.0GB supported in the latest Apple iMac Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Duo Extreme models gives even more performance benefit than just the faster speeds."

OWC's 1.0GB Upgrade Module is $50, 2.0GB Module is $116 and 4.0GB Kit is $229 ([2] 2.0GB memory modules). All memory options are immediately available and shipping.

Additional savings are also available for customers who take advantage of OWC's trade-in program, which provides $25 cash back for the trade-in for each Apple 1.0GB module.
