Larry, Something to consider before you buy that supercomputer<g>: 4/16/98 - Peripheral Ships 100MHz Memory Products for Intel SE440BX - Seattle, JN440BX - Juneau, and MU440EX - Maui, Motherboards {TEXT} ADA, OKLA. (April 16) BUSINESS WIRE -April 16, 1998--Peripheral Enhancements Corporation, a world leader in the manufacture of state-of-the-art computer memory, today announced immediate shipment of 19 new 100MHz memory products designed especially to enhance performance of computers based on Intel"s recently announced motherboards--the SE440BX (Seattle), JN440BX (Juneau), and MU440EX (Maui). These new memory upgrades are the first to incorporate Peripheral"s new 100MHz engineering, manufacturing and testing standards that were developed to insure absolute compatibility and reliability in Intel"s PC 100 system bus. "Peripheral"s 100MHz specifications are completely different from those used for slower-speed modules and have been developed in close cooperation with Intel to marry perfectly with their new state-of-the-art motherboards," said Peripheral Product Development Director Ed Nelson. "Our company"s strong relationships with OEM manufacturers, coupled with the extremely high standards we have set for these 100MHz products, means our customers can absolutely depend on their performance." The SE440BX (Seattle) is Intel"s first PC 100 motherboard, targeted to both the high-end home consumer and mid-range corporate user. Peripheral offers PC 100 and 66MHz memory upgrades for the SE440BX in sizes ranging from 16Mb to 128Mb, both ECC and non-ECC. The JN440BX (Juneau) has been announced by Intel as a state-of-the-art corporate motherboard with enhanced manageability features and is designed for VARs and system integrators who assemble systems for corporate end-users. Peripheral offers PC 100 and 66MHz memory upgrades for the JN440BX in sizes ranging from 16Mb to 128Mb, both ECC and non-ECC. The MU440EX (Maui) motherboard is Intel"s first entry into the basic PC (sub-$1,200) market. Peripheral offers 16Mb, 32Mb and 64Mb SDRAM memory products for this system, which is targeted at systems assembled for home users and low-end corporate users. "Three important factors make Peripheral PC 100 products significantly more advanced than those offered by many memory suppliers," Nelson noted. "First, we design our own PCB boards specifically to meet or exceed Intel"s PC 100 specifications. Second, we manufacture every module ourselves, using automated assemblers that are capable of maintaining the critically close tolerances that 100MHz memory requires. "Lastly, we test every single module at its specified operating speed using more than $100,000 in test equipment purchased specifically for our PC 100 product line. It"s of no value to manufacture memory using 100MHz chips if your test isn"t capable of insuring performance at speed. Peripheral guarantees this performance." Peripheral"s new 100MHz memory products will be marketed under the name THE MEMORY EDGE(tm) 100. Like all Peripheral memory upgrades, every module will feature the bright blue "Memory Edge" trademark that is applied only after final testing is complete.
