iSuppli Ranks Kingston Technology as World's Top DRAM Module Maker in First Half of 2010

Independent Market Research Firm's Findings Based on Revenue, Market Share

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, California, November 17, 2010 - Kingston Technology, Company, Inc., the independent world leader in
memory products, today announced it was ranked No. 1 in the world by
independent research firm iSuppli in the third-party DRAM module market for
the first six months of 2010. According to the report, Kingston's revenue
from memory modules was more than $2.56 billion (U.S.), giving it 45.8
percent of the total third-party memory module market.

"The strong relationships we have maintained for many years with our
partners helped carry us through the downturn of 2008 and part of 2009," said
John Tu, co-founder, Kingston(R). "We are fortunate that these relationships
allow Kingston to stay strong."

"Our good fortune has come from taking care of our employees and
customers since we started this company over 20 years ago," said David Sun,
co-founder, Kingston. "We can only be successful if we continue to work hard
and take care of each other."

In 2009, iSuppli ranked Kingston as the world's top memory module maker
with revenues of more than $2.85 billion and a 40.3 percent share of the
third-party DRAM market. The iSuppli report covers memory module revenue
only. It does not cover Kingston's NAND Flash revenues. In February, Kingston
announced that its 2009 global revenues were $4.1 billion, the second highest
in company history.

Kingston's memory module products include branded or system-specific
memory; ValueRAM(R) industry-standard memory built to JEDEC specs and
designed for system integrators and white box builders; and HyperX(R) memory
for gamers and PC enthusiasts who demand higher performance and speed.
Founded in 1987 with a single offering, Kingston now makes and sells more
than 2,000 memory products.
