Mushkin has unveiled a new memory modules series called X-Line. Modules from this series use colorful heatspreads and a black PCB, instead of traditional green PCB. The following modules were launched:

• 996580X (DDR2-800 / PC2-6400): Available in 4 GB kits with 4-4-4-12 timings and it uses a black heatspread.
• 996580wX (DDR2-800 / PC2-6400): Available in 4 GB kits with 4-4-4-12 timings and it uses a white heatspread.
• 996593X (DDR2-1000 / PC2-8000): Available in 4 GB kits with 5-5-5-15 timings and it uses a red heatspread.

Theses modules support EPP (Enhanced Performance Profiles) technology that allows memory modules negotiate with memory controller betters timings and the higher clock under which they can work in order to achieve the best performance. This technology works only with nVidia chipsets.

“Black PCBs are a step in the right direction, because our customers value on design and beauty. In addition to graphics cards and motherboards, which already exist with black PCBs, we look forward from now the color right product in the form of memory to offer.” says Markus Zech, Technical Director for Mushkin Europe.

As usual, Mushkin sets enormous amount of emphasis on quality, in making the Mushkin X-line only the best, handpicked and high performing memory chips. “Overclocking potential” is thus guaranteed.
