Comments about Crucial 1GB, Ballistix Tracer 240-pin DIMM (with LEDs), DDR2 PC2-8500,:

Great RAM, but I was adding to 3 older sticks which have 2 rows of LEDs so rather than looking awesome, it looks out of place.

As performance goes, I cant fault them overclock to ~1.3GHZ no probs :)

Would be nice if crucial could make 2 and 4GB versions of these 1GB is pretty tiny these days.

I think that only due to the fact I was finishing off the set I would have gone for the normal Ballistix.

Comments about Crucial 1GB, Ballistix Tracer 240-pin DIMM (with LEDs), DDR2 PC2-8500,:

This is probably the most reliable ram company out there, I use to own the first gen Ballistix Tracers which where terrible, but the latest gen are more compact and only consume 2 volts, which for a performance ram is amazing since most ram at this speed would want more juice. They are a good piece of hardware, produce very little heat, this helps achieve better performance. Thing that I would have liked seeing is that the Ram does have cheap feel to it interms of its heat spreaders would have appreciated a more profiled heat spreader. And last but not least the knight rider lights are something special which you only would see with this piece of kit, quite unique.

I previously had the same memory that I bought about a year ago. What I bought a second time had the same speed and low latencies, but now runs at 2.0V as opposed to 2.2V. Excellent RAM.
