Kingston Technology Shipping SDRAM Memory Supporting Compaq Deskpro 2000, 4000 Systems

Fountain Valley, CA (July 11, 1997)

Kingston Technology, the worldwide leader in memory products, today announced the immediate shipping of Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) memory ranging from 16MB to 128MB capacities supporting Compaq Deskpro 2000 and 4000 high-performance systems.

"As PC manufacturers take advantage of the new SDRAM memory technology, users can expect to experience a marked performance gain and increase in productivity. A new challenge, however, is presented to memory manufacturers since the SDRAM technology requires more stringent quality controls and compatibility testing," commented Gary MacDonald, Kingston's vice-president of sales and marketing. "Kingston is not only well-prepared to produce premium quality SDRAM, but to also produce the SDRAM memory at prices more attractive than the competition.

"The complexity of technology necessary to develop and produce SDRAM DIMMs requires in part absolute chip compatibility with the system memory controller--not all chips will work with all controllers," said Paul Popadak, senior engineer and product manager, Kingston. "We tested the memory in the new Deskpro 2000 and 4000 Compaq systems located in our new Sychronous DRAM testing lab to ensure that even the most minute differences in timing or compatibility conflict are avoided," added Popadak.

Shipping immediately, Kingston has 16MB, 32MB, 64MB and 128MB SDRAM memory modules supporting the Compaq Deskpro 2000 and 4000 systems. All Kingston memory modules are backed by a lifetime warranty with a 24-hour product replacement policy and free technical support.

Utilizing Kingston's premier quality memory products for the Compaq Deskpro 2000 and 4000 series, users can be confident of their systems performing smoothly. Kingston memory modules for the Compaq Deskpro 2000 and 4000 systems are guaranteed to be compatible with Compaq's hardware, software and diagnostics.
