Kingston Ships 128MB, 256MB Memory Kits For Silicon Graphics' O2 Workstations

Fountain Valley, CA (March 21, 1997)

Kingston Technology, the worldwide leader in memory products for personal computers and workstations, today announced the immediate availability of 128MB and 256MB memory kits for Silicon Graphics' O2 computer systems.

"SGI's O2 systems came on the market to provide an impressive price/performance ratio for the workstation platform." explained Jill Allen, Kingston's Workstation Product Manager.

"Having access to larger capacity memory kits will enable users to get maximum system performance from their O2 workstations," Allen continued.

Kingston's 128MB kits and 256MB kits are guaranteed to be 100% compatible with SGI's O2 system's hardware, software and diagnostics and both are covered under Kingston's lifetime warranty. The 128MB kit, Part #: KSG-02/128 has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price, (MSRP), of $2,360 and the 256MB kit, Part #: KSG-02/256 carries an MSRP of $4,665.

"Kingston's growing success in workstation memory products is directly related to our affordable pricing, high quality and vast product line," said Allen.

"Our goal is to continue to support the latest and most popular workstation systems on the market. This gives us the broadest line of workstation memory products available."

The O2 systems, which debuted last October, are SGI's replacement to their low-end Indy workstation family and have been built with a competitive price tag in an effort to compete directly against Pentium Pro and future systems based on Intel's emerging Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) technology.

"With Kingston's fully-compatible O2 memory being up to 50% less expensive than SGI's O2 memory, the price of an O2 system is even more attractive," commented Allen.

Kingston has memory licensing agreements with popular workstation system manufacturers including SunŽ Microsystems and Silicon Graphics. Kingston memory for the IBM RS6000 and Digital Alpha workstations is fully serviced by IBM's service provider, TSS, and Digital, respectively.

All Kingston memory is backed by a lifetime warranty with a 24-hour product replacement policy. Kingston memory is 100% tested and guaranteed fully compatible with the system for which it is designed.

Kingston markets its products through a worldwide network of distributors, major reseller chains, and independent dealers. Kingston is ISO 9001 certified as part of a continuing global effort to assure customers with the highest levels of both quality products and service.
