MGV MEMORY ANNOUNCES AVAILABILITY
OF MEMORY UPGRADES
FOR NEW COMPAQ ARMADA 7700 AND 1500 SERIES
IRVINE, Calif., May 2, 1997 -- MGV Memory, a leading
provider of memory upgrade modules to the reseller and retail markets, today announced
immediate availability of high-capacity memory upgrades for the Compaq Armada
7700 and 1500 series.
The Compaq Armada 7700 is the company’s newest
family of high-end notebooks that features powerful MMX processors and includes
the industry’s first towerable docking station. The 1500 series is a line of value-priced
notebooks which offers a broad range of advanced features such as CD-ROMs, Ethernet
connections and PC Card slots.
To enhance the Compaq Armada’s performance, MGV’s
new memory modules incorporate advanced technologies including 64-Mbit EDO (extended
data out) DRAM and small outline dual inline memory module (SODIMM) design. The
SODIMM design features a 64-bit data path offering significant increase in performance
over other types of memory modules. The SODIMM modules also provide greater upgrade
flexibility by allowing users to install different memory module configurations
in a single notebook. In addition, memory chips no longer have to be installed
in pairs, SODIMM chips can now be added one at a time.
"MGV maintains tight relationships with
the industry’s top manufacturers of desktop and notebook computers," said
Steve Recek, MGV director of product management. "These relationships enable
our team of engineers to remain on the forefront of the industry’s most advanced
technologies. As a result, MGV is quick to market with memory upgrades for the
latest entries to the computer marketplace."
The Compaq Armada 7700 models feature 16MB and
32MB of EDO RAM expandable to 144MB. The 1500 comes standard with 16MB and is
expandable to 80 MB. Manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) for MGV’s memory
upgrade modules are listed below:
