Kingston Technology First to Unveil 2-GB ValueRAM SO-DIMMs
Kingston Technology is First to Begin Full Production of Larger Capacity Modules To Empower MiniPCs and Notebooks for Windows Vista
[31 October 2006] Kingston Technology, the world’s leading independent memory manufacturer, today announced it is
the first manufacturer within the industry to offer full production of the 2-GB 533 MHz and 667 MHz ValueRAM SO-DIMMs, concurrent
with the release of the new 800 MHz ValueRAM SO-DIMMs. The new larger capacity, high-performance memory modules are designed to meet
the growing demands of notebook computers and miniPCs. The high-speed SO-DIMMs have been launched in preparation for the industry’s
migration to the 800 MHz platform.
Marc Bernier, Research and Development Manager EMEA, Kingston Technology comments, “With the advancements in mobile and small form
factor PCs, the need for high density SO-DIMM memory is increasing.” Bernier continues, “Combining Kingston’s 2-GB SO-DIMM memory
with AOpen miniPCs or notebooks with partners such as MSI creates an ideal computing platform for customers demanding high-performance.”
Daniel Wang, Vice President, Channel Business Development Division, MSI comments, “The new Kingston ValueRAM 2-GB SO-DIMMs are designed
to deliver the premium experience for laptop users. When the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system launches, more users will choose
to move to at least 2-GB of system memory to gain improved productivity, enhanced visual quality and visual style.” Wang continues, “MSI
and Kingston are working closely in product evaluation and testing, so we are always at the forefront to deliver products with the best
quality, reliability and compatibility to the whitebook channels.”
Chris Liu, Vice President of Product and Marketing, AOpen America, Inc. believes, “Kingston Technology has developed an industry-leading
quality process to ensure that its memory products deliver superior quality, performance and compatibility with computing systems.” Liu
continues, “Kingston’s new 2-GB SO-DIMM is a great inclusion in its product family — particularly for AOpen’s miniPC and the Mini-ITX
motherboard products.”
