Memory maker Kingston Technology announced it is first to offer a full production launch of laptop-use 2GB 533 MHz and 667 MHz ValueRAM SO-DIMMs concurrent with the release of new 800 MHz ValueRAM SO-DIMMs.
“The new larger capacity, high-performance memory modules are designed to meet the growing demands of notebook computers and miniPCs, Also, the faster speed SO-DIMMs are in preparation for the industry migration to the 800 MHz platform”, the Kingston’s press release says.
It is predicted when the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system launches, more users will choose to move to at least 2 GB of system memory to gain improved productivity. The faster 800MHz memory can be paired with Intel’s next-generation Centrino Pro (codenamed Santa Rosa) notebook platform, providing up to 800MHz front-side bus. The Intel’s Santa Rosa platform is scheduled for introduction in the first half of 2007.
