In compliance

Crucial offers system memory options that meet U.S. TAA requirements

Crucial now offers a full line of Trade Agreement Act (TAA) compliant memory products, including DDR, DDR2, and DDR3 premium-quality memory modules for servers, desktops, and notebooks.

A TAA compliant product has originated from, or been substantially transformed in, a country that has a Trade Agreement with the United States, and U.S government agencies, educational institutions, as well as entities that sell to them, often require the products they purchase be manufactured in countries that are TAA compliant. Additionally, all Crucial TAA compliant modules are covered by the Crucial Reliance program, which includes limited lifetime warranties, dedicated toll-free support, and the option of an on-site spares program.

News flash

From Think Computers:
The experts at Think Computers were feeling anything but blue when they tested the Crucial Ballistix Tracer Blue DDR3-1600 6GB kit.

Reviewer Jack Wager writes: "The Crucial Ballistix Tracer Blue DDR3-1600 is everything I expected from a triple channel kit from Crucial. It looks good, I particularly like the blue LEDS over the earlier Tracer kits I've owned. …The DDR3-1600 6GB performs well, and has a high level of flexibility. For the motherboard incapable of overclocking, I was able to get CAS 5 timings at a lower clock speed at the standard DDR3 VDIMM of 1.5v. For the overclocker, I was able to attain a 21% overclock, allowing for plenty of headroom for overclocking the CPU. I was also able to tighten the timings at DDR3-1600 to 7-8-7-24, a feat that is seldom accomplished (by me, anyway)."
