WEDC Launches 1GB and 2GB FBDIMM Products

Phoenix, AZ—October 16, 2006—White Electronic Designs Corporation (NASDAQ:WEDC) today announces the release of its 1GB and 2GB Fully Buffered DIMM (FBDIMM) products. These products support 533 and 667 MHz DDR2 DRAM on-DIMM data rates while operating up to 4.0 Gb/s serial data transfer over multiple serial links at the card edge. WEDC is also targeting the release of a 4GB density module in the first quarter of 2007 and has plans to expand the product offering further as component technology becomes available.

WEDC’s FBDIMM modules feature a Full Metal Heat Spreader (FMHS) option for improved thermal performance. Constructed using x4 DDR2 memory components, these products are compatible for use with the industries best system level ECC software algorithms.

FBDIMM technology is a perfect match for many high performance computing applications, such as the enterprise market. These applications require performance, reliability and overall bus density, of which FBDIMM technology was designed to address. By moving from the conventional parallel bus architecture to the new high speed “point-to-point” serial interface, this technology moves the system board closer to total serialization. FBDIMM provides both expanded density and bandwidth while at the same time reducing system board layout complexity. Targeting improved system reliability, availability and serviceability makes this product family an ideal solution for enterprise designers.

WEDC’s investment in test hardware and software equipment provides the backbone for its test validation program. This in-house program is used to qualify new designs, sourcing changes and other changes that could prevent continuous production flow. Production testing includes 100% testing of modules at speed and across both temperature and voltage corners.
