Dataram Introduces Industry's First 1GB Memory for SGI Octane R12000 Workstation.

PRINCETON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 13, 1999--

First Independent Memory Manufacturer To Provide

2GB Memory

Dataram Corporation [AMEX: DTM], a leading provider of gigabyte-class memory for high-performance workstations and network servers, today announced the industry's first 1GB memory upgrade for the SGI Octane R12000 workstation, and the first 2GB upgrade offered by an independent memory manufacturer.

Dataram's new 1GB memory, the DRG08/1024, is the only such capacity available in the industry today for the Octane workstation. Aimed at customer applications that require more than a 2GB or memory, but much less than the new 8GB system capacity, the DRG08/1024 is an extremely cost-effective choice not currently offered by the system manufacturer.

The new 2GB memory, the DRG08/2048, utilizes state-of-the-art 256Mbit SDRAM technology. For extreme applications that require enormous amounts of memory, the DRG08/2048 allows customers to fully maximize their workstation to the maximum system capacity of 8GB.

"Being the first to deliver the highest capacity memory modules possible continues to be the charter for Dataram", states Bob Kanoff, Dataram's director of marketing. "By offering users more memory options at significant savings, Dataram customers are better able to match their system's configuration to their specific computing needs", said Kanoff.
