Transcend releases Mac Pro DRIMM

Memory maker Transcend has spotted a hole in the market for Apple fans who want to save cash on their top of the range Mac Pros.

At the moment, the only way to get a cheaper Mac Pro is to buy the cheapest one on the market and then pay for a RAM upgrade. Apple charges a lot more money for RAM than other computer makers and it is possible to find upgrades cheaper.

Transcend has launched a 16GB and 32GB DDR3 Registered DIMM (RDIMM) modules aimed at Mac Pro 2013 systems.

Upgrade

Using the Transcend upgrade Mac Pro users can boost their computers' RAM to 64GB, 96GB, or 128GB.

According to a company release, while the machine is advertised as supporting up to 64GB of memory, Transcend has developed and tested these higher density modules to work in the machines. This means its memory module can push the Mac Pro beyond its spec.

Transcend says that the memory modules are easy to install in Mac Pro systems and the memory modules are backed with a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Pricing for the modules is not known yet. However it would have to be cheaper than buying it from the Apple store.

Microsoft OneNote tipped to go free, travel behind enemy lines

Microsoft OneNote could soon come to Mac OS X for the first time, and it might be free.

The note-taking app debuted on Windows a decade ago, and so far it's never been released on Mac, though Microsoft has released iOS, Android and browser versions.

But unnamed sources told The Verge that big changes, including an OS X release and a shift to free, are coming to OneNote.

OneNote will also be separate from Microsoft Office, they say.

Never forget

Those aren't the only changes, though. Microsoft will also reportedly add other features to make OneNote more attractive to Evernote users.

These include a web clipper that will let users save parts of websites and browser extensions for Chrome, Internet Explorer and Firefox. These features are present in Evernote.

OneNote users will reportedly also be able to email notes to the service to have them inserted into notebooks remotely.

OneNote on Mac could release this month, preceding the new Office for Mac, which is confirmed to be coming out in 2014.
