excellent choice

Reviewed By: on 11/30/2007

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: I bought these for my new rig and they scream speed. They also act as a pretty touch to my windowed case. I overclocked to 1204 mhz at 2.2v. Havent had any problems whatsoever.

Cons: no

Other Thoughts: To those guys who gave this product a bad review and let me note that they have "high" technical understanding, the reason your ram is running at 800mhz is because your MOTHERBOARD is keeping them that way. If you set the ram to run at the speed advertised in the bios, you will be ok. And you can even take it to the next level and overclock. I, however wouldn't reccomend overclocking to those guys.

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: nice improvement over 6400. running 1066 5-5-5-15 2.0v passed Mem test with no errors. nice jumps with Everest benchmarks. vista Ultimate loads noticeably faster :)

Cons: I had to RMA the first set. They struggled to break 830. yes I was fully aware of the voltage requirements. I tried as high as 2.3v when all else failed.

Other Thoughts: Memory can and will fail even from highly respected companies such as Crucial. NewEgg was great with their customer service, as expected.

Worked for a while

Reviewed By: Meteor_of_War on 1/26/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Worked great for a while (about 8 months).

Cons: This RAM has a short life span.

I'd recommend buying something with a more reliable reputation.

Other Thoughts: I purchased this RAM back in Feb. '08 and it worked great up until now. Recently started getting regular crashes to the desktop while gaming and BSOD upon trying to reboot. Ran memtest86+ and it reported lots of errors. I never over clocked or over volted the memory.

Contacted Crucial and requested an RMA for a replacement (they're sending me the new version 2 Ballistix) but I dont trust this RAM now. I will just keep it as backup memory or sell it.

Worst RAM Ever?

Reviewed By: Alex on 1/25/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: None.

Cons: I wrote a 1 star review above stating I had returned one set after it failed, and that the replacement set was also failing.

I own two pairs. I have now had to return a pair four times. Of the four DIMMs I have now, none of them are originals. Further, three of the four now fail memtests. This will be return five and six...

Other Thoughts: Other RAM is now cheaper for more capacity.

Crucial still rocks

Reviewed By: Noxnemo on 1/16/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Works as well as it should. I've been using Crucial memory for years and they're always responsive to issues and make a quality product.

Cons: Bought 2 pair. System was having memory errors right away. After running some diagnostics I didn't know which DIMM it was, but Crucial allowed me to RMA them all and they sent replacements very promptly.

Other Thoughts: RAM issues can be hard to diagnose. I believe part of getting good RAM is good product support. I only give it 4 stars since I had to RMA the product.
