bmr_approved.png, Good price for the value ($119 USD), Crucial Limited Lifetime Warranty, Interesting design and colors will appeal a bunch of users, Integrated IC for thermalmonitoring via MOD utility (support 32 and 64 bit OS), Will work on any Intel based system and probably on AMD systems too,
Overclocking is very limited due to the ICs in their memory chips
Crucial Ballistix BL2KIT25664FN1608 performance is just average. The kit isn't able to work at 1T command rate and it needs more than 1.5v to work stable with very loose timings and common frequencies. They also suffered from a cold boot bug or someth...
Abstract: Video Review: The Crucial Ballistix PC3-12800 DDR3 Dual Channel 4GB Memory performs very well. It has a speed of 1600MHz, latency of 8-8-8-24 and is 1.65 volts. The orange/silver heatspreader looks excellent and since this memory is of normal dimension it will not interfere with CPU coolers. I was a little disappointed though that it would not run at 8-8-8-24 using 1T, I had to set it to 2T. This is still very acceptable and still yields excellent results.
Decent stock speed performance, Comes with the Crucial limited lifetime warranty, Looks good.
I couldn’t get it to over clock past 220FSB.
The Crucial Ballistix 2x 1GB 1600Mhz kit is decent enough but I felt it lacked a little on the overclocking front. I know it’s only “rated” at DDR1600 but I was hoping for a little more than 1760Mhz due to the Ballistix reputation, 1800M...
Abstract: It took a while for me to notice it, until I installed them into the test system actually, but after doing so I noticed to my regret that Crucial had sent us a 3Gb kit, instead of the 6Gb kit we agreed on. This wasn't obvious from the outside (the module size is nowhere mentioned), however it..
Abstract: As we come close to the end of the year we see DDR2 prices drop like flies and new hardware requiring DDR3.This only tells us one thing.....Yes, finally DDR3 has become mainstream and with this mainstream status we see the prices start to become reason...
Abstract: Crucial BallistiX DDR3 PC3-16000 er brikker som kan by på god ytelse og meget gode overkokkingsevner på Intel brikkesett. Derimot så fungerte det ikke fullt så bra med Nvidia brikkesett. Når vi tar en titt på prisen som ligger på rundt 1400 kroner så e...
The is a great performer in its on right. The kits XMP profiles allow a user the best of both worlds in case the motherboard in use just isnt up to par with the lower 7-7-7-24 memory timings. If thats the issue, then the default 8-8-8-24 timings wi...
The Crucial Ballistic PC3-12800 2GB kit retails for a whopping $380. Prices for DDR3 are dropping fairly steadily. The P5E3 that Im using costs $350 itself. DDR3 is very expensive, but the industry is heading there. I would say wait a month or so and ...
Abstract: Overall my experience with Crucials 2GB PC3-12800 Ballistix memory kit was good. As far as memory goes, the build quality was excellent: heatspreaders were lined up perfectly and made even contact with all ICs. Performance wise, at clock to clock fre...
