Kingston Debuts Ultra Low-Latency 800MHz Notebook Memory

Kingston Technology Company, a designer, manufacturer and distributor of memory products for desktops, laptops, servers, printers, and Flash memory products for PDAs, mobile phones, digital cameras, and MP3 players, has introduced ultra low latency 800 MHz notebook memory.

 

The new HyperX PC2-6400 CL4 SO-DIMM will soon be shipped in 4GB memory kits and come with additional Serial Presence Detect (SPD) capabilities to provide performance benefits to a wider array of notebooks.

 

"As more notebook systems standardize on faster 800MHz platforms, particularly the Intel (News - Alert) Centrino 2 chipsets, Kingston engineers designed the high-performance, ultra low-latency HyperX SO-DIMMs to support them right out of the box," said Mark Tekunoff, senior technology manager, Kingston.

 

"The new SO-DIMMs offer flexible upgrade options with their ability to enhance many existing systems -- boosting 800- and 667MHz platforms with the faster performing CL4/CL3 ultra low-latency SO-DIMMs."

 

Kingston recently launched low-latency versions of its HyperX 800MHz DDR2 SO-DIMM notebook memory pre-programmed with three SPD profiles that allow the memory to work in 800MHz-CL5, 667MHZ-CL4 and 533MHz-CL3 low-latency configurations.

 

The 800MHz CL4 memory is more desirable to users who would want to increase their speed performance without making any changes to their BIOS settings.

 

The company says that HyperX notebook memory is backed by a lifetime warranty and 24/7 tech support.

 

Also, the company said the release of the Kingston ultra low-latency 800MHz SO-DIMM kits continues a series of new notebook memory offerings that will provide mobile users greater performance on existing systems.
