Super Talent Unveils Project X DDR3 Kits

The World’s most Advanced DDR3 Memory
San Jose, California – September 12, 2007 -- Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of DRAM memory modules and flash storage solutions, today announced immediate availability of the world’s most advanced DDR3 memory kits, dubbed Project X.
Project X represents the most advanced DDR3 memory available. It is developed in Super Talent’s Silicon Valley Engineering Labs to deliver the highest attainable DDR3 memory performance. Project X memory combines blistering fast clock speeds with aggressively tuned latencies.
Project X employs an extreme cooling solution that offers double the surface area and 106% more aluminum mass than standard heat spreaders. With Super Talent’s special thermal adhesive, this cooling solution provides superior heat dissipation that results in a cooler, faster memory device.
These two Project X Kits are built with the fastest available, carefully screened DRAM chips, and are hand tested as a matched pair on a dual channel Asus P5K3 Deluxe motherboard.

Model # Description
W1800UX2GP DDR3-1800 PC3-14400 2GB Kit (2x 1GB) 7-7-7-21 2.0V
W1600UX2GP DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 2GB Kit (2x 1GB) 7-6-6-18 1.8V

Super Talent has emerged as a leader in extreme performance DDR3 because the company committed considerable engineering resources to DDR3 well ahead of the competition. According to Joe James, Super Talent Marketing Director, “Project X now stands without peer as the world’s premier DDR3 solution. These kits support obscene clock speeds, carefully tuned latencies, and incorporate an advanced thermal dissipater that makes them as sexy as they are fast.”
Project X memory is designed, built and tested in Super Talent’s San Jose, California headquarters, and is backed with a lifetime warranty. These products begin shipping today at street prices of approximately $599 and $559.

Super Talent Project X DDR3 Includes Native Support for Extreme Memory Profiles (XMP)

San Jose, California – September 17, 2007 -- Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of memory and flash storage solutions, today announced that the company’s new Project X DDR3 memory supports Extreme Memory Profiles (XMP).

Developed by Intel Corporation in partnership with leading system board and memory module makers, the new XMP specification utilizes a reserved sector of the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) on memory modules to store factory configured profiles of memory timing settings. These profiles make it much easier to overclock memory and squeeze incremental performance from the PC. XMP was designed to optimize memory performance with motherboards based on Intel P35 and X38 chipsets.

Super Talent’s Project X DDR3 memory announced last week was designed from the beginning with native support for XMP. Both these Project X kits, shipping now, support XMP:

According to Super Talent Marketing Director, Joe James, “Project X was designed to support XMP from the very start, so every Project X kit we’ve ever shipped already supports XMP.” Mr. James added, “We’re very happy to bring new performance enhancing features like XMP to market through our partnership with Intel. XMP replaces the pain of tweaking every individual memory parameter with the simplicity of selecting a single performance profile to optimize memory timings.”

Project X DDR3 memory is developed in Super Talent’s Silicon Valley Engineering Labs to deliver the highest attainable DDR3 memory performance. Project X memory combines blistering fast clock speeds with aggressively tuned latencies, XMP support and an extreme cooling solution. Project X is the ultimate DDR3 memory for gaming and extreme performance computing. Super Talent will showcase its full range of flash and memory products including Project X at the Intel Developers Forum (IDF) this week in San Francisco.

Super Talent SSD Drive Wins DISKCON USA Best of Show Award

San Jose, California – September 26, 2007 -- Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of memory and storage solutions, captured the Best of Show award at the DISKCON USA 2007. Super Talent’s new 128GB Serial ATA drive, offered in 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch form factors, won the coveted award over scores of other new products from the industry’s leading storage vendors.

Super Talent’s Solid State Disk (SSD) Drives are based on flash chips rather than rotating magnetic platters as the storage medium. SSDs are completely interchangeable with industry standard hard disk drives; they conform to the same physical dimensions as hard drives, and use the same SATA interface as hard drives, making them functionally identical.

But SSDs offer numerous advantages over conventional hard drives. With no moving parts, SSDs are far more rugged and reliable than hard drives. Moreover, SSDs use about 80% less power, produce less heat and zero noise, and offer compelling performance advantages over hard drives. These products both support over 60 MB/sec sustained read and 45 MB/sec sustained write speeds:

Super Talent Marketing Director, Joe James commented, “This prestigious award validates all the R&D work we’ve poured into our SSD products over the past two years. We’re extremely honored. We’re anticipating a wide scale adoption of SSD drives in the near future due to the significant advantages they offer over hard drives.” These products are both shipping now. Approximate street price for both models is $4499.
