Other World Computing has sent us exciting news on their RAM offerings for the MacBook. If any of the OWC crew is reading this, we’d be happy to, uh, review this upgrade, because really, can you ever have enough RAM?

March 20, 2007, Woodstock, IL — Other World Computing (OWC) http://www.macsales.com, a leading Mac and PC technology company, announced today that it is the first to offer up to 3.0GB of expansion memory for Apple MacBook laptops — 50% more memory than the 2.0GB maximum factory installed option. MacBook users will love the opportunity for improved performance for audio/video, photo, 3D modeling applications, and more, where the extra memory really makes a difference in their computer’s performance. 3.0GB Memory Upgrade options are also compatible with Apple MacBook Pro and Apple iMac Intel based systems.

Premium Memory Solutions from OWC Costs Less than Factory Installed

In addition to being the first to offer this memory, OWC memory also costs less than half the price of factory installed and is easily user installable with a FREE online video installation guide and a LIFETIME Advance Replacement Warranty (vs. other manufacturer’s limited 1 year warranty). Consumers can also get Trade-in Rebates of up to $55 per module on their existing factory memory (PC5300 DDR2 SO-DIMM).
