Comments about Crucial 2GB kit (1GBx2), Ballistix Tracer 240-pin DIMM (with LEDs), DDR2 PC2-8500,:

Runs extremely stable and cool at stock speeds:
800MHz @ 4-4-4-12 @ 2.0V
1066 @ 5-5-5-15 @ 2.2V

Runs nicely at 900MHz @ 4-4-4-12 @ 2.26V
At 910MHz they crash after a few hours.
Fastest speed I got was 1176MHz @ 5-5-5-15 @ 2.3V, but also crashes after a few hours.
I use a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P motherboard.

The light show is incredible!

The only problem is that I can't find another set...

Comments about Crucial 2GB kit (1GBx2), Ballistix Tracer 240-pin DIMM (with LEDs), DDR2 PC2-8500,:

I bought a set of these about a year ago [4Gb total: 2Gb Ballistix and 2Gb Ballistix w/LEDs], and I had problems with one of the modules. It took me a while to get it replaced and I had to exchange all of them because they changed the voltage rating to 2.0v from 2.2v.

I have had nothing but problems with ALL of four of them. Prime95 failures, BSOD, Windows Vista mem check failure, and random game crashes.

HOWEVER, when I under-clocked them to 800MHz I have had NO problems. I think that Crucial’s over-clock is like Iraq: unstable.

Comments about Crucial 2GB kit (1GBx2), Ballistix Tracer 240-pin DIMM (with LEDs), DDR2 PC2-8500,:

The good:
These time really easily to a tight 4-4-4-12 without any issues and can be run under the rated 2.0v and still stay stable.

Crucial customer service is excellent.

Micron memory is always a plus.

The bad:
Purchased 4GB
Two 2x1GB 2GB kits
RMA'd first set 4 months after purchase.
RMA'd second set 8 months after purchase.
RMA'd a replacement set 4 months after that.

The shiny:
Pretty lights tell you when all is going well with the system. Not only do they look great they are functional. Best system bling on the market. If you can see inside the case these are a must.

*how you use the product

theres nothing that aren't great about it,but would be good to have maybe a indicator on ram so it monitors the current status (normal,bad,optimal)
