As we all know when it comes to ram upgrades, the 5 manufacturers featured in our comparison tests are all big players and are the most trusted names in the memory world. The Crucial Tracer kit itself held its own against all the other memory kits it ...
Availability, Rock Stable, Overclockable to 1233Mhz, LED Activity Illumination, Excellent Build Quality
None noted
After witnessing the excellent overclocking potential from this memory, it is hard to wrap your brain around the fact that this memory costs less than US$100 for a 2 Gig kit. Its cheap, its stable, its incredibly overclockable and for garnish has ...
I was quite impressed with the Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2 PC2-8500 2GB kit. This was more so from the fact that the modules were able to pull off the tighter timings at the rated speed which does not occur often. The overclocking ability of these m...
Great Performance, Good Overclocking, Sexy heatspreaders, Chasing LEDs
NONE!
Once again I am impressed with Crucial Memory! As far as performance goes these modules rock! There is quite a difference between PC2-8500 and PC2-6400! Setting up the modules was easy and I did not have any problems while doing any of my tests. The m...
Once again since this memory is so similar to the 800MHz kit I reviewed previously, my conclusion wont differ much at all. This Crucial Ballistix Tracer is without a doubt the best looking memory Ive ever seen. Its also some of the best overall ...
Runs stable at advertised 1066MHz clock speed and default 5-5-5-15 timings, Stable (no errors) up to 1075MHz (4-4-4-12) or 1185MHz (5-5-5-15), LEDs add that extra "flair" to your case
None
The Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC2-8500 2GB DDR2 Memory Kit performs up to 45% better in some tests than a similarly clocked competitor. This DDR2 kit is advertised to operate at 1066MHz with (5-5-5-15) timings, and even with more aggressive timings (4-...
Great versatility overclocking at various timing sets, The best memory you can buy from Crucial for a reason, Tracer modules light up your life, especially the blue "groundeffect" LEDs, Availability in Canada through NCIX!!! Thankyou Crucial for listening...
Like any memory, overclocking is never guaranteed, Still Levin PCBs and the standard 2.3v DDR2 limit is definitely in effect, Price is very likely to fluctuate...but while it is around $205USD, get it while you can
Life is good...you have a sexy black jacket on with polished aluminum trim, more lights than the next guy, and you overclock like a monster. I guess life is good if you?re a memory module and survived a couple weeks with me. In the end, 2.3v is all any...
Looks great, Fast, Its Crucial!, Runs 1066Mhz at CAS4, Runs at lower voltage at stock speeds
High voltage at 2.2V
So I think I answered the question as to is it worth it upgrading the ram to match the CPU FSB speed, sort of anyway, at least for most things there is a large performance gain to be had by doing this. The Crucial Ballistix not only looks great in any...
Abstract: Today, I will be reviewing a 2GB kit of Crucials "Tracer" series high speed memory. We were very impressed with the PC6400 non-tracer kit we reviewed not too long ago for our Get Ready for Vista Gaming Rig, lets see if Crucials latest memory modules ...
Abstract: I always like getting new hardware in for testing. Theres something about the endless possibilities that gets to me. Maybe I just like tinkering with new stuff too much, I dont know. Crucial obliged my needs this time by sending over their l...
