[Staff]

<br><blockquote><i>Fremont, CA, October 20, 2004: Corsair Memory, Inc., a global leader in ultra-performance
DDR memory modules for PC gamers and enthusiasts, today announced their fastest ever DDR
memory module, a DDR550 module that supports very aggressive 2.5-4-4-8 latencies. These
modules typically support 2-2-2-5 latencies at 400MHz clock speeds. The new parts are:
TwinX1024-4400C25 matched pair of 512MB, DDR550, 2.5-4-4-8, black XMS modules
TwinX1024-4400C25PT matched pair of 512MB, DDR550, 2.5-4-4-8, platinum XMS modules<p>

Both these parts are available immediately from resellers worldwide, and are also available as
individual 512MB modules. TwinX kits are tested as a matched pair at their rated specifications
and packaged together immediately after passing test, guaranteeing that the customer
receives a product that has been verified in the dual channel environment. These modules
include Corsair’s classic black or platinum aluminum heat spreaders for improved heat
dissipation.<p>

The ultra high clock speeds supported by these modules make them an ideal choice for
extreme overclockers seeking the ultimate in performance. According to Corsair VP of
Applications Engineering John Beekley, “we’ve tested these modules in our labs on a number
of 875P, 865PE and 939-pin Athlon ™ 64 FX based motherboards with extremely impressive
results. This is the first time we’ve been able to run memory at 550 MHz on both Intel and AMD
platforms… and at CAS 2.5!” Corsair R&D engineers have validated these modules on both
Intel and AMD based platforms, but Corsair’s production test lines for these parts employ the
Asus P4C800-E motherboard. “Moreover, we’ve driven our manufacturing cost down
dramatically on this module compared to our earlier XMS4400 product, which will translate
into surprisingly affordable street prices”, Mr. Beekley added.<p>
