PNY Technologies Announces New 2GB Performance Memory Kits for Extreme Gaming and Performance Enthusiasts.LAS VEGAS Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. -- PNY Technologies PNY Technologies, Inc. is an American computer hardware company established in 1985. PNY is headquartered in Parsippany, New Jersey and maintains offices and manufacturing facilities in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Taiwan. ([R]) Inc. announced today at CES 2007 upcoming availability of its new XLR XLR X-linked lymphocyte regulated XLR X-Linked Recessive (genetics) XLR Accelar (Nortel/Bay network switch) XLR Ground Left Right (digital audio) 8TM 2GB memory kits boasting speeds and latencies that exceed industry standard specifications. Each 2GB memory kit contains two matched 1GB modules, each fitted with PNY's new proprietary heat sink A material that absorbs heat. Typically made of aluminum, heat sinks are widely used in amplifiers and other electronic devices that build up heat. Small heat sinks are the most economical method for cooling microprocessors and other chips. design. PNY PNY Piedmont Natural Gas (stock symbol) Technologies' XLR8 Gold memory modules incorporate an innovative PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. (Printed Circuit Board) design that locates all the memory ICs on one side of the board. This configuration allows for the opposite side of the PCB to be used to attach a massive heat sink that extracts heat from the underside of the ICs through a custom expanded ground plane. Additionally, PNY Technologies' XLR8 Blue memory uses a similar custom heat sink design that has been adapted for standard two-sided memory modules. Both of these heat sink designs provide superior heat extraction for enhanced reliability and endurance under the high-stress conditions that enthusiasts and overclockers subject their equipment to. All XLR8 models are currently going through the NVIDIA([R]) SLI (Scalable Link Interface) A multi-GPU interface from NVIDIA for connecting two or four NVIDIA display adapters together for faster graphics rendering on one monitor or two monitors. ([TM])-Ready certification process in PNY's new internal SLI testing lab, established in partnership with NVIDIA. The NVIDIA SLI certification process puts each module through a rigorous set of diagnostic tests including benchmarking, continuous burn-in, and SLI motherboard and graphics card interoperability. Moreover, Enhanced Performance Profiles Enhanced Performance Profiles (EPP) is a memory technology for PC's delevoped by NVIDIA, primarily designed to make overclocking easier. It is a feature of the nForce 5 and nForce 6 chipsets. Corsair, along with NVIDIA, were the primary parties in developing the specification. (EPP (1) (Enhanced Parallel Port) See IEEE 1284. (2) (Ethernet Packet Processor) A chip from Kalpana, Inc., Santa Clara, CA that doubles speed of Ethernet transmission to 20Mbits/sec. In 1994, Kalpana was acquired by Cisco. ) are programmed into these modules to provide high performance settings with simplified installation and configuration. NVIDIA SLI certified motherboards that are compatible with EPP can automatically use faster memory timings when the EPP feature of the motherboard is enabled. PNY's certified XLR8 memory modules become part of the complete NVIDIA SLI ecosystem and are the perfect addition to any SLI PC. "Our new XLR8 performance memory modules feature both higher-than-standard frequencies as well as extra low latencies. When coupled with PNY's new heat sink design, the increased cooling capacity allows users to experience the highest level of speed and responsiveness under the most demanding PC applications such as gaming, file compression, and video editing," said Dan Altana, memory product manager for PNY Technologies. "The XLR8 modules offer PNY customers a new option to choose the best model of PNY memory based on their performance expectations, PC specifications and budget." All XLR8 memory modules are tested to perform at their rated speeds and timings using a selective qualification process reserved exclusively for XLR8 memory. PNY's new XLR8 Extra Low Latency Performance Memory includes: * 800 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. PC2-6400 - Modules perform at latency settings of 4-4-4-12 at 2.1 volts.
