Kingston Technology Announces NVIDIA SLI-Ready HyperX DDR2 Low-Latency 800 MHz Modules

[5 July 2006], Kingston Technology, the world’s leading independent memory manufacturer, today announced the release of its NVIDIA SLI-Ready 800MHz low-latency modules. With a simple one step process the HyperX DDR2 PC2-6400 modules increase overall system performance when paired with select NVIDIA nForce 500 series-based motherboards. Kingston Technology’s NVIDIA SLI-Ready modules are designated with an "N" in the part number and are available in 1-GB and 2-GB kits.

Kingston Technology and NVIDIA have specifically designed and engineered the HyperX module to give users the ability to boost system performance by simply installing NVIDIA SLI-Ready components. Without needing to tune the BIOS, users can simply select their performance option during the system configuration.

Thomas Marschner, Vice President, Sales and Marketing Europe at Kingston Technology comments, “Kingston is extremely excited to be bringing this cutting-edge memory technology to the PC enthusiast market.” Marschner continues, “This new range of HyperX products is ideal for gamers and PC enthusiasts who want to achieve increased performance without having to alter their BIOS settings.”

NVIDIA SLI technology is a revolutionary platform innovation that allows users to intelligently scale performance by combining multiple NVIDIA graphics solutions in a single system using an NVIDIA nForce SLI media and communications processor (MCP).
