Kingston Technology First to Launch High Performance Ultra Low-Latency DDR2 Notebook Memory

Innovative HyperX SO-DIMMs Infuse More Performance into Laptop Systems--Without Overclocking


Fountain Valley, CA -- September 3, 2008 -- Kingston
Technology Company, Inc., the independent world
leader in memory products, today announced it is
first to release high performance, ultra low-latency
800MHz notebook memory. Shipping immediately
in 4GB memory kits, the HyperX® PC2-6400 CL4
SO-DIMMs offer the additional benefit of 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 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.”

The new HyperX mobile memory is a perfect fit for
notebook users who want to boost system performance
by replacing standard notebook memory with high
performance modules that boot to the highest speed
possible -- without adjusting system BIOS settings.
Targeting new P45/Centrino 2 laptops the 800MHz CL4
modules have two pre-programmed ultra low-latency
profiles: DDR2-800 CL4-4-4-12 @1.8V and DDR2-667
CL3-4-4-10 @1.8V.

Part Number: KHX6400S2ULK2/4G
4GB 800MHz Ultra Low-Latency DDR2 Kits
(800MHz CL4-4-4-12 @ 1.8V
and 667MHz CL3-4-4-10 @ 1.8V) SO-DIMMs
kit of 2 $ 257.00 MSRP (U.S. only).

The release of the Kingston ultra low-latency 800MHz
SO-DIMM kits continues a series of new notebook
memory offerings to provide mobile users greater
performance on existing systems. 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.

Kingston HyperX memory is backed by a lifetime
warranty and free, 24/7 technical support. For more
