Fountain Valley, CA - (June 21, 2004) Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the world's largest independent memory manufacturer, today announced support for the latest motherboards based on the new Intel Express Chipsets 915G and 925X. (previously code-named Grantsdale and Alderwood) with DDR2 (400- and 533- MHz) memory modules. These include newly launched Intel Desktop Boards.
"We are pleased to see Kingston offering DDR2 memory that is fully validated with the new Intel® 925X and 915G Express chipsets enabling the next generation of computing performance, said Sunil Kumar, Director of Chipset and Software Marketing at Intel.
Intel® 915G and 925X Express Chipset based Intel Desktop Boards feature support for new PCI Express x16 Graphics, Intel® High Definition Audio and the new Prescott Core P4 processor. DDR2 modules were developed to support the latest motherboards and systems as they are released. Kingston's DDR2 memory modules are specifically tested by Kingston and Advanced Validation Labs® for compatibility with the Intel® 915G and 925X Express Chipset based motherboards. Kingston's DDR memory modules are also validated by Intel and listed on Intel's Module System Validation Results website at
