Kingston launches Sandy Bridge HyperX memory

PC MEMORY VENDOR Kingston Technology has dragged itself away from the gaming tables in Las Vegas to launch its HyperX Genesis special edition memory module for Intel's P67 Sandy Bridge motherboards at CES.

The firm said that the high performing dual channel memory kits will ideally complement the Intel Sandy Bridge based P67 motherboards as well as existing P55-based systems.

"The modern design and look accentuates the new black and grey P67 motherboards just reaching the market," said Stephane Rizzetto, EMEA product development manager of DRAM at Kingston Technology.

"With performance memory frequency initially at 2133MHz and 1600MHz, these new additions to the family of HyperX products meet the demands of everyone from the enthusiast vying for the fastest benchmark score to the weekend gamer."

The HyperX Genesis Special Edition Grey, to use its full name, comes in DDR3 2133MHz and 1600MHz 4GB kits.

The former is priced at £86 and the latter at £39, both excluding VAT. µ
