Corsair Advances Speed Grades on DDR2 and DDR3 DRAM Product Lines


FREMONT, California, February 19 /PRNewswire/ --

- Patented DHX (Dual-Path Heat Xchange) Technology Delivers 
Record-Breaking Speeds

Corsair(R) http://www.corsair.com, a worldwide leader in high performance
computer and flash memory products, announced today that new record-breaking
speeds have been achieved within the Corsair DDR2 and DDR3 lines of DRAM
memory.

Maximum Performance & Extreme Over-Clocking for Demanding Gaming
Enthusiasts

Available by the end of February, two new Corsair 4GB DDR2 module speed
grades are being offered for high-performance enthusiast users: Corsair
1066MHz (PC2-8500) and 1142MHz (PC2-9136) 4GB memory kits (2X2GB). The new
memory modules utilize Corsair's patented DHX technology, which employs a
specially designed quadruple heat sink to dissipate heat through both
convection and conductive methods. The results are maximum performance and
extreme over-clocking capability for the demanding gaming enthusiast.

"Pushing the limits of new memory technologies, architectures and
densities is what Corsair is known for," said Jack Peterson, VP of Corporate
Marketing at Corsair. "These latest announcements will clearly impress our
highly demanding enthusiast customers, as well as push Corsair even farther
into the lead as the world's fastest memory solutions manufacturer," added
Peterson.

Recent next generation platform testing using the latest DDR3
technologies, highest density DRAM parts, as well as Corsair DHX cooling
solutions has proven that memory modules with performance speeds reaching
over 2000MHz (PC3-16000) are now ready for production. The modules operate at
faster memory bus speeds than currently available 1800MHz solutions.

The DOMINATOR line from Corsair has been the world's leader in
high-performance memory solutions and continues to lead the way with the
addition of four new DDR3 DHX memory kits. These new modules will be
available in 2GB configurations and are expected to be available this
quarter.

"Since DDR3 was announced, the industry has been struggling to break
through the 2GHz barrier," said John Beekley, VP Applications at Corsair.
"Combining our DHX Technology and extensive work with chipset developers on
Bios modification, Corsair's recent lab test results indicate that not only
is 2GHz production memory going to be available, but there is plenty of room
for further speed improvements."

All Corsair memory modules are available through Corsair's authorized
distributors and resellers world-wide. Corsair DRAM products are backed by a
Lifetime Limited Warranty. Complete customer support via telephone, email,
forum and TS Xpress is also available. For more information on Corsair
