Fremont, CA (Vocus) May 6, 2009
Corsair®, a worldwide leader in high-performance computer and flash memory products, today announced it was honored with one of RetailVision’s coveted Best Selling Product Awards in the e-tail PC RAM Best-Seller category.
RetailVision Spring 2009, produced by Everything Channel, took place April 27-30 at the Boca Raton Resort in Boca Raton, FL. The award program was supported by research from The NPD Group, the leading global provider of consumer and retail market research information.
Corsair earned the e-tail PC RAM Best-Seller award for its 4GB XMS2 DHX memory kit (TWIN2X4096-6400C5DHX), which achieved the highest sales totals in both retail and e-tail markets for 2008.
Corsair’s Director of Sales, North America, Anthony Andrews, accepted the award from Everything Channel Vice President and Channelweb.com Editor, Larry Hooper.
“Corsair is proud to accept this award, and we’d like to thank our retail and e-tail channel partners for helping make our 4GB XMS memory kit a true best-seller.” Said Tony Andrews, Director of Sales, North America, “We could not have achieved this milestone without the strong relationships that enable Corsair and our partners to work together to deliver this outstanding product to gamers and enthusiasts. We look forward to continuing our mutual success in 2009 as we lead the way with a complete range of high performance DDR3 memory solutions for the new Intel® Core® i7 and AMD Phenom II platforms.”
Thanks to its leadership in PC memory technology and expertise in the PC gaming market, Corsair was instrumental in discovering and raising awareness of the benefits of using at least 4GB of memory in systems designed for high-performance gaming (see http://www.corsair.com/4gb-upgrade), helping to drive demand and sales.
The award for a 4GB kit of gaming memory highlighted the importance of PC gaming products to the retail channel, and from the show floor to the boardrooms, the latest in gaming gear was top of mind for many retailers at RetailVision Spring 2009.
In addition to the e-tail PC RAM Best-Seller award for Corsair, awards were given in a host of other categories, from wireless networking gear to multifunction printers. Each award recognized the cream of the crop in the retail and e-tail landscapes for 2008. The winners were chosen using the market analysis firm the NPD Group’s retail sales tracker, which aggregates product sales from 100 retailers and e-tailers, representing roughly 20,000 storefronts.
Stephen Baker, NPD Group vice president of industry analysis recognized the Best-Sellers’ achievements, and commented that other manufacturers can learn from their success.”It is important that manufacturers realize that every step they take at retail and e-tail counts,” Baker said. “It’s this kind of data and recognition that helps vendors understand what they need to do to be successful in partnering with retailers and e-tailers.”

Best putt of decade
Posted by Parkzone Corsair in Memory on December 17th, 2010
Look back to the decade of golf, from 2001 to now (2009) in a sea of golf games; you can come into conclusion yourself. The duel between Rocco Mediate and Tiger Woods caught people’s eye in 2008 U.S. Open and Tiger Woods clinched the best putt of Decade during the playoff. Now, playback:
 No.1 Golfer with No.1 Caddie—–Best Player & Caddie Duo
Rocco Mediate was one putt from being crowned 2008 U.S. Open champion. Unfortunately for him, Tiger Woods was the one holding the putter. Faced with 12 feet to force an 18-hole Monday playoff, Woods buried the birdie for what you voted as the Best Putt of the Decade.
ÂÂ
Over the years, Woods has certainly made longer putts, even more difficult ones, but none more dramatic or more defining than the one on the 72nd hole at Torrey Pines.
ÂÂ
Playing on a bum left leg and facing a scrappy veteran in Mediate, Woods was one down with one to play. One bad drive and one sloppy iron shot later, Woods found himself in the gnarly rough, 101 yards from the hole. On the advice of caddie Steve Williams, Woods played a wedge, muscling it onto the front surface of the green.
ÂÂ
With Mediate watching in the scorer’s trailer on a TV monitor and everyone else in the golfing world watching along with him, Woods made the right-to-left curler and released one of his most emotional outbursts ever.
ÂÂ
Woods went on to win the next day, making a birdie on the par-5 18th once again to force sudden death, where he finally captured the trophy with a par on the 91st hole.
It took everything Woods had to win his 14th major championship – including the best putt of the decade.
ÂÂ
According to the votes, Best Putt of the Decade
o Tiger Woods’ putt to force a playoff on the 72nd hole of the 2008 U.S. Open – 33%
o Phil Mickelson’s putt on the 72nd hole to win the 2004 Masters Tournament – 32%
o Tiger Woods’ “Better Than Most” putt on 17 at the 2001 Players Championship – 29%
o David Toms’ par putt on the 72nd hole to win the 2001 PGA Championship – 4%
o Hilary Lunke’s birdie putt on the 90th hole to win the 2003 U.S. Women’s Open – 2%
ÂÂ
