Product Details of Ballistix Tracer 2GB PC2-6400 DDR2 DIMM Dual Channel Memory Kit

Description

Ballistix Tracer memory is specifically built for performance enthusiasts and case modders who want to push the performance envelope while adding flash appeal to their boxes. The Ballistix line of high-performance memory modules features advanced speed grades, low latencies, and integrated aluminum heat spreaders. Ballistix Tracer memory features a black PCB, black integrated heat spreaders, and two rows of eight "chasing" red and green LEDs atop the module, circulating at varying speeds proportional to usage. A custom-designed circuit relays bus activity to the LEDs, allowing them to accurately reflect usage of each memory module. In addition, eight blue ground effects LEDs emit a constant glow near the pins.

Blinky blinky

Strengths: RAM runs solid at 1.8v. Heat spreader/cover combo keeps RAM cool.

Weakness: None noticed.

While the blinky blinky "tracer" LEDs are waaaay over the edge in the gawdy category, the RAM itself appears well made, and has operated for the last week at 1.8v just fine. In addition, my computer case is a bit on the weak side when it comes to airflow, but these DIMMs appear to be running cool. I think the covers are doing a good job of dissipating heat from the memory chips.

Best Ram I ever Bought!

Strengths: Excellent Cooling! Cool looking LED's

Weakness: None

This was my 1st build and i did lots of research before i jumped the gun on this ram. Best one out there! Esp with the leds it comes with. You cant go wrong with these.

More great memory from Crucial.

Strengths: Stable and fast. LEDs are nice touch.

Weakness: None

I've been buying Crucial RAM since 2001 and have never had any problems. The Ballistix Tracer memory is fast, stable, and adds a bit of bling to my system thanks to the LEDs. What more could anyone :-)?

Incredible memory!

Strengths: Great overclocker, Micron chips

Weakness: None!

This memory has not let me down for a single moment. I currently have all four of my memory slots filled with this memory without any issues. Overclocks like a dream as it should considering it has the infamous Micron chips. And for the price I paid for them, it was a steal!

Awesome Ram

Strengths: Stable, Works beyond stock settings, Lights

Weakness: None

This is great ram at an awesome price. I was able to push this ram past 900 mhz stable on a Gigabyte DS3R motherboard. The flashing LEDs are actually kinda cool. If you want solid, stable, overclock capable, flashing ram, this is your ticket.

Ballistix Tracer 2GB PC2-6400

Strengths: Micron D9, 925Mhz at 5-5-5-15 and 2.2v. very stable, consistent performer, looks

Weakness: run warm

Crucial Ballistic memory is a very consistent performer. I have had several kits that overclocked to over 900mhz. The memory likes 2.2v although i have gotten away with 2.1v. Modules are well made with good feel to them. Crucial rma support is very good. If your board supports this memory it should be a top choice at current DDR2 prices.

Rock solid memory

Strengths: Crucial quality with lifetime warranty. LED lights are great if you have a clear case.

Weakness: none

Memory prices are dropping like a rock, and I had to pick this kit up when it went on rebate. Crucial makes great memory. No problem just dropping them in my computer, restarting it, and having my machine recognize them immediately. 2 extra gigs to your computer will definitely make a difference. I am not an overclocker so don't know how these will perform.

Great ram with some bling factor

Strengths: Crucial's lifetime warranty is a big plus. Gotta love the lights on these sticks. 4-4-4-12 timings

Weakness: Price dropped after I bought them:(

Works fine in an Abit IP35 motherboard paired with a 1gb Tracer kit. 3gb is perfect for 32-bit XP. I haven't tried to overclock these but by other reports I'm sure they'd do fine. Runs successfully without errors in memtest at stock settings.

Good overclocker

Strengths: High quality memory Pretty lights!

Weakness: Need a good setup to take advantage of this memory

I purchased these Tracers to complete a recent build. I already had a set of Tracers without the pretty lights so I knew what I was getting. I've ran these out to over 1100MHz at 4-4-4-12 and to 870MHz at 3-3-3-8 timings. They have taken all the abuse I have thrown at them and I couldn't be happier with their performance.

Best DDR2 ram available

Strengths: Excellent overclockers, still works below the 2.2V rating

Weakness: none

These sticks are excellent with Micron D9 chips on the sticks. They are heavily overclockable and should easily reach 1066MHz with ease. Best ram I've used and definitely worth the price!
