Kingston Technology Releases High-Performance 800MHz HyperX FB-DIMMs for Intel Skulltrail Extreme Platform

London, UK‑- (7th  May, 2008)  -- Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the release of high-performance, low-latency 800MHz DDR2 fully-buffered dual-inline memory modules (FB-DIMMs). Designed for system builders creating high-end workstations, servers and extreme gaming systems, the new Kingston HyperX PC2-6400  FB-DIMMs are shipping immediately in 2GB kits.

“In a new tradition of expanding the Kingston HyperX product line, we are pleased to introduce HyperX FB-DIMM modules for customers building specialty workstations, servers and performance gaming systems based on the Intel 5400 chipset,” said Mark Bernier, European Research and Development Engineer, Kingston Technology. “Using a specialised dual-phased cooling system to cool the FB-DIMMs’ controller IC, this new design will provide optimal temperature conditions. As part of our production process, these new modules have been fully tested on the Intel Skulltrail platform.”

The Kingston Technology HyperX 800MHz FB-DIMMs perfectly complement the ground-paving, dual quad core processor performance of Intel’s recent Skulltrail systems. With memory latency timings lowered to 4-4-4, the new FB-DIMMs are capable of delivering high data bandwidth when installed in quad-channel mode.
