Corsair and Dell Usher in 1600MHz Memory for Extreme Gaming Performance


FREMONT, California, June 3 /PRNewswire/ --

- XPS730 Achieves Rock-Solid Stability Using Corsair DOMINATOR Memory

Corsair(R) http://www.corsair.com, a worldwide leader in high performance
computer and flash memory products, announced today that 4GB of overclocked
DDR3 memory is now officially ready for prime time. Using Corsair's DOMINATOR
memory modules, Dell's XPS 730 gaming desktop runs with rock-solid stability
at the overclocked memory frequency of 1600 MHz.

The dramatic increase in memory frequency from previous 800MHz DDR2
modules to the overclocked 1600MHz Corsair DOMINATORs allows a corresponding
increase in memory subsystem bandwidth, which directly results in improved
system performance. At the same time, advances in processor architecture and
game design have moved the optimal memory content for a gaming-oriented
system from 2GB to 4GB. Corsair and Dell worked together to produce module
test procedures specifically tailored to provide a high speed 4GB memory
subsystem with superior stability and greatly elevated clock frequency.

"The performance computing community is very aware of the improved game
play that 4GB of memory offers, as well as corresponding improvements in task
switching and program load times," stated Andy Paul, President and CEO at
Corsair. "Dell and Corsair completed many hours of testing and tweaking over
many hardware and firmware revisions, and the result is a platform that is
exquisitely tuned for performance and stability."

"The XPS 7XX-series platform is the ideal place for Dell to showcase the
best that PC performance hardware has to offer," said Patrick Desbois, Dell
XPS Gaming Engineering. "We had very aggressive performance goals for this
platform, including the ability to run 4GB of overclocked main memory with
rock-solid stability. Corsair's DOMINATOR DDR3 modules were the only logical
choice for the best-in-class performance memory required for the Dell XPS
730."

Corsair DOMINATOR Memory Features DHX Technology for Extreme Overclocking
Performance

The Corsair DOMINATOR family of memory provides the ultimate in
performance technology engineering from Corsair. The DOMINATOR is designed
for the highest performing IC overclocking capability. It features Corsair's
patented DHX Cooling Technology, an innovative quad-layer heat sink design
that optimizes memory performance and reliability by maximizing thermal
dissipation. With DHX Technology, heat is removed via two paths -- the leads
of the BGA chips into the PCB (convective cooling) and the back of the BGA
packages into the custom designed extruded aluminum heat sinks (conductive
cooling). This allows DOMINATOR modules to achieve outstanding overclocking
performance while remaining stable and reliable.
