Advanced Validation Labs Announces DDR Validation and Compatibility Program Support for the NVIDIA nForce2 Platform

Advanced Validation Labs Has Successfully Validated Memory Modules Supporting NVIDIA's nForce2 DDR Platform Processors

Fountain Valley, CA (October 01, 2002) - Advanced Validation Labs^® (AVL), a leading validation and testing services company, today announced its validation and compatibility testing program for DDR memory modules supporting the latest NVIDIA^® nForce™2 platform processors.

To enable widespread availability of reliable DDR memory modules worldwide, AVL was chosen by NVIDIA as a leading testing and validation lab for the industry. With the launch of the NVIDIA nForce2 platform processors, memory module manufacturers and DRAM suppliers can start to ship DDR memory modules and devices specifically tested by AVL for compatibility with nForce2-based motherboard platforms.

The NVIDIA-certified system validation program involves the testing of memory modules using NVIDIA's reference platform. The validation test process includes the application of different voltage and thermal ranges to further stress memory modules under test.

"It is NVIDIA's goal to provide the industry with the highest-performing and most feature rich PC platform," said Drew Henry, senior director of platform business at NVIDIA. "Part of the nForce2 launch process is ensuring that there are compatible, cost-effective and reliable memory solutions available to customers worldwide. NVIDIA is confident that AVL will ensure compatibility and interoperability of memory modules with high performance NVIDIA nForce2 platform processor-based motherboard solutions."

"AVL's collaboration with NVIDIA on the nForce2 platform plays an integral role in the purchasing decision for customers looking for validated memory solutions," stated Larry Ho, director of technical labs at Advanced Validation Labs. "AVL has extensive engineering experience and quick-turn validation services so customers will be able to verify that their memory modules have been thoroughly tested with AVL's comprehensive validation procedure," added Ho.
