Alpica DDR-SDRAM provides latest technology to mainstream users

Johannesburg, 04 Jun 2002

DDR SDRAM, which is now becoming the mainstream memory product for use on many new motherboards, is now available in a value offering from the Alpica memory range. Available from local distributor Axiz, Alpica provides DDR SDRAM memory that is targeted at the mainstream and value user.

"With the prices of standard SDRAM and DDR SDRAM becoming comparable, users will find that is extremely cost-effective to use the newer memory technologies - which also provide improved system performance by doubling the bandwidth throughput," says Bruce Murphy, memory product manager at Axiz.

"In addition, now that the major motherboard manufacturers are providing a wide range of motherboard options that utilise DDR SDRAM, this technology is now available to a wide range of users in the mainstream and upper entry level of PC purchases."

DDR SDRAM (double data rate SDRAM) is synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM) that can improve memory bandwidth via a clock speed of 266MHz. It transfers data on both the rising and falling edge of the system clock rather than on just the rising edge, thus doubling throughput. One of the benefits of this is more available bandwidth through the memory BUS enhancing many processing aspects.

Alpica DDR SDRAM is manufactured on a six-layer printed circuit board (PCB), which provides a high level of reliability. Using components from major DRAM manufacturers, the range has a five-year warranty and therefore offers peace of mind to system integrators.

Stock on all Alpica DDR SDRAM products is immediately available from Axiz.

Axiz is a distributor of products from market leaders HP, Microsoft, Intel and LG, and also carries a wide range of leading brand components and solutions. More information is available at www.axiz.com.
