HyperX DDR2 Memory Technology Offers Faster Speeds, Greater Bandwidths, Lower Power Consumption and Enhanced Thermal Performance for Gamers and PC Enthusiasts

Kingston Technology, the independent world leader in memory products, have announced the release of HyperX DDR2 533-MHz (PC2-4300) and 675-MHz (PC2-5400) memory modules. Initially, Kingston Technology’s HyperX DDR2 modules, tested to run at PC2-4300 and PC2-5400, will be available in limited quantities. These new HyperX DDR2 unbuffered DIMMs are available in capacities up to 1GB to support the latest generation of computer platforms (actual speed depends on various supported motherboards).


"Kingston Technology's HyperX DDR2 memory features faster speeds of up to 675 MHz, higher data bandwidths, lower power consumption by about 50 percent, and enhanced thermal performance versus DDR", commented Thomas Marschner, Vice President European Sales and Marketing, Kingston Technology. "Gamers and PC enthusiasts will achieve increased performance and better thermal conditions in their rigs from the latest HyperX offering", concluded Marschner.


Kingston Technology designs and qualifies its HyperX line of products by careful selection of memory components that are assembled and tested for ultimate performance. The Kingston Technology HyperX PC2-4300 modules have been tested to run at low latency timings of 3-3-3-10 and the PC2-5400 support low latency timings of 4-4-4-10. SPD timings are programmed at JEDEC standard latency timings of 4-4-4-12. The new modules also offer a range of advanced features.

HyperX DDR2 Features:

1.85 Volts operation, reducing power consumption by about 50 percent

Memory signal termination inside the memory chip ("On-Die Termination") to prevent reflected signal transmission errors

Operational enhancements to increase memory performance, efficiency and timing margins

CAS Latencies: 3 and 4
