Kingston DDR2 4GB (2x2GB) 800Mhz Non-ECC CL5 DIMM Value Ram Setting a New Standard of Price/Performance From component qualification through quality assurance monitoring, Kingston's ValueRAM solutions inherit Kingston's widely recognized expertise in building high quality memory modules. Component Qualification Kingston strictly qualifies all of its component suppliers, including its DRAM, PCB, resistor, capacitors, and other suppliers. In compliance with ISO 9001, Kingston continuously monitors component quality and periodically qualifies its suppliers. In key areas, Kingston performs regular factory audits on-site at its suppliers' factories worldwide. Design and Engineering Validation Tests Kingston memory products are subjected to rigorous testing processes to insure their reliability, integrity and compatibility. Each new module design is subjected to a series of reviews and tests that can include: Specification Verification - Kingston engineers verify that a module design meets the engineering specifications issued by OEMs or industry groups such as JEDEC. Testing is performed on Kingston's multi-million dollar testers that feature proprietary software that measures and characterizes a module's performance. Signal Quality and Integrity Test - Kingston's Memory Technology Lab utilizes motherboards and high-speed oscilloscopes to examine the electrical signals going into and out of memory modules. Timing and waveform analysis reveals a module's signal quality and integrity characteristics, which are used to predict the quality of the module's design and components. Reliability Tests - A series of calibrated hot and cold cycles for up to 1,000 cycles, and a temperature and humidity stress test for up to 1,000 hours. In addition, Guardband Testing cycles modules through a series of voltage and temperature cycles.
