"Kingston Ready With Memory for Silicon Graphics' Origin, Onyx2 Systems"
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., July 24 /PRNewswire/--
Kingston Technology, the worldwide leader in memory products for personal
computers and workstations, today announced the immediate availability of
high capacity memory kits supporting Silicon Graphics' Origin and Onyx2
workstation computers.
"SGI's Origin and Onyx2 systems are designed for memory-intensive scientific,
technical, visual, and enterprise applications," explained Lucas King,
Kingston's Workstation Product Manager. Origin and Onyx2 applications
require memory subsystems that are both expansive and highly reliable. We've
put a lot of work into these products and we are pleased to announce that
Kingston is the first independent memory manufacturer to market these
products," King continued. The 64MB kit for the Origin and Onyx2 systems is
available immediately, while the 128MB and 512MB kit designs are complete
and expected to ship within two weeks.
"Kingston's fully-compatible Origin and Onyx2 memory are substantially less
expensive than the system manufacturer's," said King. "This offers Silicon
Graphics' workstation users a high-quality, yet cost-effective solution for their
memory needs," said King. "We think it's a great proposition: users get
peace-of-mind with Kingston quality plus the ability to either maximize their
memory for increased performance, or just pocket the savings and pay a
fraction of the system manufacturer's price."
Kingston's 64MB, 128MB and 512MB kits are guaranteed to be 100%
compatible with SGI's Origin and Onxy2 system hardware, software and
diagnostics. Covered under Kingston's lifetime warranty, the 64MB kit, Part #:
KSG-ORIG/64 has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), of
$935.00; the 128MB kit, Part #: KSG-ORIG/128 is priced at $2,185.00; and
the 512MB kit Part #: KSG- ORIG/512 will sell for $10,560.00.
"As the worlds' largest independent provider of UNIX and NT workstation
memory, our goal is to continue to offer the highest quality, most affordable,
most comprehensive products for all the latest and most popular workstation
systems in the market," commented King.
Kingston has memory licensing agreements with popular workstation system
manufacturers including Sun(R) Microsystems and Silicon Graphics. Kingston
memory for the IBM RS6000 and Digital Alpha workstations is fully serviced
by IBM's service provider, TSS, and Digital, respectively.
All Kingston memory is backed by a lifetime warranty with a 24-hour product
replacement policy. Kingston memory is 100% tested and guaranteed fully
compatible with the system for which it is designed.

major reseller chains, and independent dealers. Kingston is ISO 9001 certified
as part of a continuing global effort to assure customers with the highest levels
