Corsair XMS2 DDR2 memory provides exceptional stability and performance to the NVIDIA SLI platform

Fremont, CA (Thursday, November 3, 2005) – Corsair(R) Memory, Inc., a worldwide leader in high performance memory and cooling products for enthusiasts and overclockers, today announced that it has became the first company in the memory category to receive the NVIDIA(R) SLI™ Ready certification.

Extending our close relationship with NVIDIA, Corsair brings additional performance advantage to the SLI platform users with our blazing-fast DDR2 memory."

As a part of the SLI certification process, each component must pass stringent series of tests including diagnostics, benchmarking, burn in, and card interoperability. Only memory that delivers the highest stability and performance even under the most extreme condition will pass the certification.
