Memory for New Intel Core i7 Processors and X58 Chipset Connects Directly to Processor

Fremont, CA, and Glasgow, UK, 5 January, 2009 - Lexar Media, a leading global provider of memory products for digital media, today announced the immediate availability of BallistixTM DDR3-1333 (PC3-10600) and DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800) three channel DDR3 memory kits. These new kits support the latest Intel® chipset technology, based on the CoreTM i7 processors. Ballistix three channel DDR3 memory kits are available in 3GB and 6GB kits through select resellers and at www.crucial.com/ballistix, www.crucial.com/uk/ballistix, and www.crucial.com/eu/ballistix.

The Ballistix name is synonymous with high-octane gaming; these new three channel products are designed with the latest Intel Extreme Memory Profiles (XMP) for pre-defined memory optimisation. Intel's QuickPath architecture, which connects the memory directly to the processor as opposed to communicating through a separate chipset, enables faster memory throughput and performance. Enthusiasts can continue to count on Ballistix memory for some of the fastest, most responsive performance available.

"Ballistix memory is known for its extreme performance and our new three channel kits are an excellent fit for the new Core i7 platforms. By utilising Intel's latest XMP specifications, we are delivering a product that will allow consumers to easily configure their memory for excellent performance," said Jeremy Mortenson, senior product marketing manager at Lexar Media. "Like all Ballistix memory, the new three channel Ballistix kits incorporate specially selected components that are 100% tested at the component and module level and are a desirable memory solution for achieving outstanding throughput and speed gains. Additionally, they carry a limited lifetime warranty and feature world-class service and support."
