The editors didn't like
High voltage at 2.2V
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
None
NONE!

May not be fully compatible with all modern motherboards.
As youve probably noticed, I review a fair amount of ram. More often than not, I am completely impressed with each and every kit I review, which makes it difficult to give one a bad rating. As it stands, I firmly believe that Crucials Tracer 8500 ki...
There's no denying that the Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 modules are champion overclockers. Requiring a modest 2.35v to break the DDR2-1220 barrier, I'm convinced that with a little extra voltage and possibly active cooling, the Ballistix could easily be ca...
Great Overclocked Ability, LEDs, Speed, Headroom...
Somewhat Inconsistent Performance...
To say that Im absolutely thrilled with the performance of these modules would be a lie. I felt like they werent consistent, and in tests where I would have guessed that they would have recieved higher marks, they got lower marks. The thing that def...
While the Intel platform is set to go to DDR-3 memory later on this year, though it is starting to show up now, it is not mass produced, and only the P35 chipset currently supports it. DDR-2 is still the king of the desktop and notebook platforms.That...
Excellent performance, Crucial Warranty, Completely priced 5,5,5,15 kits, Worked at 1002 MHz in our 975X boards, Bling lighting (if that’s what you are after)
Err bland packaging, Not much Overclocking headroom
The Crucial Ballistix Tracer 1066 MHz Tracers (PC2 8500) do exactly what they say they do and a little bit more, when compared to the Dominators the only thing that was a let down was the overclock, having said that though with them performing on par a...
Una vez testeadas las memorias, nos hemos quedado gratamente sorprendidos ya que los tiempos de acceso a memoria es de tan solo 53.3 ns. Otro aspecto destacable es la velocidad de lectura y escritura. En resumen unas memorias muy validas para los mas e...
Abstract: Est-il encore besoin de présenter crucial? Cest ni plus ni moins que la filiale « grand public » de Micron, lun des principaux fabricants de puces mémoire. À la sortie de la DDR2 crucial faisait partie des premiers à avoir misé sur ce standard.Dep...
Die neuen Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC2-8500 Speichermodule (1x BL2KIT12864AL1065 oder 2x BL12864AL1065)konnten im Test selbst mit der Default Speicherspannung enorm übertaktet werden und sind dank der integriertenLED Beleuchtung ein echter Eyecatcher i...
Abstract: Junglen er stor der ude når det drejer sig om RAM. Ikke nok med at der findes et hav af producenter samt mange forskellige udgaver. Nu er skal man også kigge på udseende og lys effekter. Man kan meget let blive forvirret over alle de informationer osv...
