Super Talent does its bit for the environment.
Memory maker Super Talent has developed a new range of panda-friendly DDR3 modules.
The firm's new range uses 38 per cent less printed circuit board material than standard DDR3 modules. It shows that the memory industry's standard DDR3 design wasn't initially developed with eco-friendly priorities.
"Our goal with these green DDR3 DIMMs is to offer a greener memory choice for regular desktops that uses less raw materials, produces less industrial waste and consumes less fuel to transport with absolutely no tradeoffs in functionality or price", explained Super Talent director of marketing Joe James. "When multiplied by the hundreds of thousands of memory modules we produce monthly, this can have an enormous environmental impact."
Super Talent's very low profile (VLP) DDR3 unbuffered DIMMs are designed for use in standard DDR3 based x86 motherboards and use far less fibreglass substrate and copper than previous versions. The company said they are backed with a lifetime warranty.
Further saving the environment, Super Talent packages the modules in a natty clamshell case that uses 47 per cent less plastic and takes up about half the space of its old packaging.
Super Talent's greener 1066MHz and 1333MHz 1GB and 2GB DIMMs will start shipping in September.
