Kingston Feeds Gaming Market with 1000 and 1066-MHz HyperX Memory Modules
Hsinchu, Taiwan – (May 29, 2006) -- Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the release of HyperX® DDR2 1000-MHz (PC2-8000) and HyperX DDR2 1066-MHz (PC2-8500) memory modules. The new HyperX DDR2 unbuffered DIMMs are available in capacities up to 2 GB to support high end computing.

“This is a significant launch for Kingston® to bring a series of cutting-edge memory technology to the enthusiast market,” said Tawny Phan, Sales Director, APAC Business Division, Kingston. “These new array of HyperX products are ideal for the latest up and coming DDR2 based platforms. These new modules are a perfect blend of speed and ultimate performance. With the recently released 800-MHz low latency modules the Kingston family is now expanding to include 1000 MHz and the incredibly fast 1066-MHz.”

With the advent of new platforms utilizing DDR2 memory, coupled with the introduction of memory hungry software and games, the need for high performance and high capacity memory is a must. For the enthusiast community, Kingston’s HyperX modules are the ideal memory solution.

"Kingston has been providing our customers using PC3200 high-quality products which enable AMD Athlon™ 64 FX enthusiasts to tune their PCs and find the best possible performance to suit their gaming or digital media needs," said Mike Field, division marketing manager, Desktop Division, AMD. "Our socket AM2 processors, also released today, utilize DDR2 memory technology, which together with Kingston’s new DDR2 memory will enable the next generation of computing performance.”

Components used to build HyperX must go through stringent tests in order to be qualified for the line. Once potential components meet our rigorous testing standards, they are then assembled and tested. As with all enthusiast grade memory, actual speeds reached will depend on system configuration.
