Kingston Ready with Memory For Silicon Graphics Origin, Onyx2 Systems

Fountain Valley, CA (July 24, 1997)

Kingston Technology, the worldwide leader in memory products for personal computers and workstations, today announced the immediate availability of high capacity memory kits supporting Silicon Graphics Origin and Onyx2 workstation computers.

SGIs Origin and Onyx2 systems are designed for memory-intensive scientific, technical, visual, and enterprise applications, explained Lucas King, Kingstons Workstation Product Manager. Origin and Onyx2 applications require memory subsystems that are both expansive and highly reliable. Weve put a lot of work into these products and are pleased to announce that Kingston is the first independent memory manufacturer to market these products, King continued. The 64MB kit for the Origin and Onyx2 systems is available immediately, while the 128MB and 512MB kit designs are complete and expected to ship within two weeks.

Kingstons fully-compatible Origin and Onyx2 memory is substantially less expensive than the system manufacturers, said King. This offers Silicon Graphics workstation users a high-quality, yet cost-effective solution for their memory needs, added King. We think its a great proposition: users get peace-of-mind with Kingston quality--plus the ability to either maximize their memory for increased performance, or just pocket the savings and pay a fraction of the system manufacturers price.

Kingstons 64MB, 128MB and 512MB kits are guaranteed to be 100% compatible with SGIs Origin and Onxy2 system hardware, software and diagnostics. Covered under Kingstons lifetime warranty, the 64MB kit, Part #: KSG-ORIG/64 has a Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price, (MSRP), of $935.00; the 128MB kit, Part #: KSG-ORIG/128 is priced at $2,185.00; and the 512MB kit, Part #: KSG-ORIG/512 will sell for $10,560.00.

As the worlds largest independent provider of UNIX and NT workstation memory, our goal is to continue to offer the highest quality, most affordable, most comprehensive products for all the latest and most popular workstation systems in the market, commented King.

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 IBMs 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.
