Other World Computing (OWC®) http://www.macsales.com, a leading Mac and PC technology company, announced today the OWC 8GB DDR3 Memory Upgrade Kit and 4GB DDR3 Memory Upgrade Modules for the new Apple MacBook Pro 17" “Unibody” models. OWC memory is also available in modules and kits of up to 6GB for previous MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops, as well as options from 16MB and up to 32GB covering nearly every current and past Apple computer model.

Pricing for OWC 4GB & 8GB Memory Modules and Kits for upgrading MacBook Pro 17" “Unibody” 2.66GHz and 2.93GHz models:

• OWC 4GB DDR3 Memory Module - $359.99 (add to existing 2GB factory chip for 6GB total memory, an option not offered by the factory.)

• OWC 8GB DDR3 Memory Kit - $697.99 (2 x 4GB matched memory modules for 8GB total memory)

OWC Memory - More Options & Lower Cost than Factory

The new MacBook Pro 17" laptops come standard from the factory with 4GB (2 x 2GB memory modules) of installed memory, with the only factory upgrade option of 8GB priced at $1000. For MacBook Pro 17" users who seek the ultimate performance configuration, OWC’s 8GB Memory Kit is priced much lower – over $300 less - than the factory installed 8GB upgrade. Upgrading to 6GB of installed memory – an option not offered by the factory - also offers substantial performance benefits and is accomplished with the purchase of a single OWC 4GB Memory Module, which replaces an existing 2GB factory installed module. In addition to the cost savings offered by OWC Memory upgrades, users also retain their original factory memory modules that can be sent to OWC for a current cash back trade-in value of $19 per 2GB module.

Free “Do-It-Yourself” Videos for Easy Installation

These new OWC Memory Upgrades are fully supported with free online instructional videos to make user installation a quick and easy 15-minute procedure. Videos showing both memory and hard drive upgrades being installed into a MacBook Pro 17" are available for viewing at:
