GeIL offering Green Series of DDR3 memory

Gone are the days when manufacturers could ignore the power budgets of computer components. There are 'green' hard drives and videocards among other products as well as efforts to go green by reducing packaging and substituting greater amounts of recyclable components. Today GeIL announced its Green Series line of computer memory that go beyond just reducing the amount of energy involved.

The GeIL DDR3 Green Series of memory comes in four different speed and capacity combinations which require 10-20% less power than the JEDEC standard. The series offers PC3-8500 memory modules in 2GB (2 x 1GB) and 4GB (2 x 2GB) 1066MHz kits with CAS 8-8-8-20 timings. GeIL is also offering PC3-10660 2- and 4GB kits with timings of CAS 9-9-9-24.

Beside reducing the power requirements, GeIL has extended its 'green' efforts beyond the memory to include the working environment, product design, logistic and production to maximize energy saving and minimize CO2 transpiration and is offering the kits in recycled paper pulp packaging.
