Ever since the introduction of DDR2 PC memory in 2003, manufacturers have been pushing the line in a race to have the quickest memory available; Patriot Memory has done just that, and plans to unveil the worlds fastest memory module in 2007. 

Patriot was able to achieve a record breaking DDR2 memory module with a speed of 1302MHz. Known as Extreme Performance PCS-10100, this module was designed to take full advantage of the new Intel Quad Core processor, and will leave PC gamers with a smile, boasting superior compatibility with NVIDIA’s NForce 680i platforms.

The PC-10100 translates to a near 81GB transfer rate; which is proving increasingly more useful with the additional size of today’s media and gaming files.

“Patriot is committed to pushing the envelope when it comes to offering the fastest and highest quality memory solutions to the market,” stated Paul Jones, Patriot CEO. “The introduction of our PC2-10100 series will hopefully show that we are dedicated to becoming the memory company of choice for the gaming and enthusiast community.”

Patriot added that they will demonstrate and display their record breaking memory at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show in January, and also noted the inclusion of the worlds fastest USB Flash Drive, the X-porter XT version2.

The Xporter XT V.2, with a 266x transfer rate, spikes at speeds of 39MB per second, making it the worlds fastest with it’s predecessor, the award winning X-porter XT, now taking the back seat. Version 2 comes with a lifetime warranty, and will be available in 1GB to 16GB.

“Consumers are managing very large multi-media files which drive demand for larger capacities for USB flash drives. Most of these drives, however; have very slow read and write speeds which can be very frustrating for users when they attempt to transfer their files,” commented Les Henry, Director of Engineering. “Patriot’s X-Porter XT provides the best solution for those seeking to carry large amounts of data and the ability to transfer them at an extremely fast rate.”

While  Kingston remains arguably the most popular memory manufacturer, Patriot is setting the standard for high speed, next generation modules, and is gaining ground quickly.
