Overclocking on SKT 1150 doesn't produce noticeable performance increases
Low 1600 MHz speed means this kit is better for Intel-based systems (AMD systems use 1866 or 2133 MHz by default)

Abstract: I started writing about DDR3 memory modules in May 2007 before the supporting motherboards came out, so it takes quite a bit to get me excited about memory after writing about it for nearly six years of doing so. In fact, buying a memory kit is one of the...
It is clear that Crucial's Ballistix Low-Profile line can compete with the best out there. Both the Sport VLP and Tactical LP kits showed their capability in every benchmark. Even though the Tactical LP's performed better than the Sport VLP's, they were ...

These memory modules seem to be the perfect solution for the SFF PC, or in cases where the Ballistix tactical LP are too large, snuggling up under the HSF. They run cool helping keep case temperatures down, they run low voltage which for the power miser...

The Crucial Ballistix Sport VLP series is a great set for all walks of life. Not matter if you are an average PC user or and an overclocker. With the aid of XMP you can just install an individual stick or kit, select the proper setting in your BIOS and go...
Low profile design, Same heatspreader design as larger version, XMP profile, Lifetime warranty
None that I found

Lower voltage, Good quality, Very Low profile, Good Price
None
I feel that the Crucial Ballistix Sport VLP performed well. It didn't blow any of my test memory out of the water, and actually had some points scored against it from both test modules. This being said, it didn't score bad, because any differences in the ...
