Kingston rolls out DDR3 memory

MUMBAI, INDIA: Kingston Technology Company Inc. has announced it is shipping HyperX 1375MHz and ValueRAM 1066MHz double-data-rate three synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR3 SDRAM) modules.

Kingston said in a statement that it would release ValueRAM 1333MHz DDR3 modules along with X38 motherboards launching later this summer.

“Leading with our HyperX product line, Kingston is able to produce the fastest memory possible for enthusiast gamers, professionals and innovators,” said Rajesh Panicker, country manager, India, Kingston Technology.

“Introducing technology such as DDR3 to support the newest motherboards—our ValueRAM 1333MHz supports boards not yet on the market—and chipsets is a great accomplishment from our dedicated engineering team. Many motherboard companies have tested Kingston DDR3 memory in their labs and are very satisfied with the performance.”

“Kingston has been working closely with Asus, Gigabyte and other top motherboard manufacturers in our HyperX DDR3 testing process,” said Panicker.

“We successfully screened and yielded production quantities of DDR3 memory at 1375MHz, giving technology early adopters and gamers the opportunity to test-drive the newest motherboards at some of the highest performance levels available,” he added.

The lower voltage of DDR3 (HyperX 1.7v versus 1.8v with DDR2 and ValueRAM 1.5v versus 1.8v with DDR2) provides a more efficient thermal solution for today’s desktop and future mobile and server platforms. DDR3 technology is expected to be faster than DDR2 memory and its greater bandwidth is ideal for systems using dual and quad core processors

Kingston DDR3 modules are shipping in 512MB and 1GB capacities as well as 1- and 2GB memory kits. Kingston memory comes with a lifetime warranty and free technical support.

It products are distributed in India by Avnet India, Ingram Micro, Kobian Electronics and Transtek Infoways.
