Kingston Cuts Memory Prices!

Fountain Valley, CA (January 17, 1996)

KINGSTON TECHNOLOGY, the worlds leading independent manufacturer of memory
products, announced today that it is lowering prices on its memory modules
from 5% to as much as 20%.

"THE MARKET RIGHT NOW IS FLUCTUATING AND REDUCING PRICES IS SIMPLY OUR WAY
OF ASSURING OUR CUSTOMERS OF THE BEST MEMORY PRODUCTS AVAILABLE -- BEST IN
QUALITY, SERVICE, SUPPORT AND PRICE", stated Karen Hodo, Kingstons Vice
President of Domestic Sales.

"MEMORY SUPPLY HAS BEEN IMPROVING OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS--IN PART DUE
TO THE INCREASED AVAILABILITY OF DRAM FROM NEW FABRICATION PLANTS COMING
ON LINE, AND ALSO FROM A SLIGHT SOFTENING OF THE PC MARKET IN Q4" , said
Marketing Vice President, Gary MacDonald.

"AS THE INDUSTRY LEADER, KINGSTON HAS ALWAYS BEEN FIRST TO RESPOND TO
MARKET CHANGES AND PASS THE SAVINGS ONTO OUR CUSTOMERS", MacDonald
continued.

The price decrease is the SECOND for Kingston in the last few months. The
company's earlier reduction in prices came with the announcement of
Kingstons hitting the billion dollar sales milestone in October 1995. As
part of the marking of the milestone day, Kingston reduced prices
accompanied by the statement:

KINGSTON HAS SET THE STANDARD FOR HIGH QUALITY MEMORY PRODUCTS AND
EXCELLENT SERVICE. WE WILL NOW SET A NEW STANDARD: PRICE
