Crucial Technology Announces Availability of 133MHz SDRAM Memory Upgrades.MERIDIAN, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 22, 1999-- Crucial Technology, a division of Micron, and the only factory-direct memory upgrade supplier, today announced the immediate availability of Micron's high-performance 133MHz Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) A type of dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip that has been widely used since the late 1990s. SDRAM chips eliminated wait states by dividing the chip into two cell blocks and interleaving data between them. ) memory modules in 32MB, 64MB and 128MB DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Module) A printed circuit board that holds memory chips and plugs into a DIMM socket on the motherboard. See memory module. DIMM - Dual In-Line Memory Module densities. Customers can purchase 133MHz SDRAM upgrades directly by visiting Crucial's award-winning Web site at http://www.crucial.com or by calling toll-free at 1-877-CRUCIAL. "Support in the industry for 133MHz bus speeds continues to build. These faster bus speeds create increasing demand for higher memory bandwidth to enable maximum system performance," said Scott Schoenherr, General Manager for Crucial Technology. "Crucial is pleased to be one of the first module suppliers in the industry to offer this high-performance, low-cost solution to our customers." As part of Micron Technology, Crucial Technology is able to take advantage of Micron's extensive research and manufacturing capabilities and pass these benefits on to its customers. "We are pleased to see Crucial Technology taking advantage of its unique position in the retail channel to provide Micron's leading-edge module solutions to the end user," said Jeff Mailloux, DRAM Marketing Manager for Micron Technology, Inc. "As the memory market continues to segment, Micron will continue to focus on providing the solutions needed by our large OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it.
