Corsair unveiled 2GB DDR2-667 (PC5300) ValueSelect SODIMM memory modules for notebooks and small form factor (SFF) personal computers. The users of 64-bit laptops and mini-PCs with only two memory slots may benefit since the new modules, when combined with 64-bit operating system, will provide the use of 4GB of main memory on these machines, according to Corsair’s representative.
“Current notebooks typically support up to 4GB of system memory when using a 64-bit operating system but feature only two memory slots. With this limitation in mind, it means users have to use 2GB SODIMM modules in order to maximize memory capacity. Having more memory in the notebook is vital in delivering a faster system response time and a smoother user experience,” said Richard Hashim, Director of Product Marketing at Corsair. “For those looking to transition to Windows Vista OS, the 2GB modules allows instant upgrade of current notebooks to be Vista Ready and delivers Vista premium experiences.”
The new is available through Corsair’s distributors, retailers, and resellers with the suggested retail price of $489. The memory’s part number is VS2GSDS667D2.
