Kingston Technology Releases 800MHz FB-DIMMs

Kingston has just launched a family of 800MHz FB-DIMM memory modules, ranging in capacity from 512MB to 4GB, that are ideal for servers and high-performance workstations. Kingston is first rolling out industry standard ValueRAM FB-DIMMs, but has hinted that high-performance kits might be out in the near future. The kit with 2 x 2GB modules (KVR800D2D4F5K2/4G) offers a total memory density of 4GB with a MSRP of $260. Kingston is doing a $13 instant rebate on the kit right now which brings the price down

Today's dual XEON systems using the new 1600MHz front-side bus quad-core processors demand a robust memory solution to match processor bandwidth with memory bandwidth," said Louis Kaneshiro, senior technology manager, Kingston. "Our 800MHz FB-DIMMs deliver the blazing performance and reliability required by high performance servers and workstations." Delivering up to 25.6 GB/s bandwidth with four memory channels active, Kingston 800MHz FB-DIMMs match the bandwidth needs of the latest XEON processors. The 2GB and 4GB 800MHz FB-DIMMs enable a flexible upgrade path while leaving plenty of headroom for future RAM expansion.
