Crucial Ballistix 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory Model BLS2G2D80EBS1S00

Pros: Only company with LED flashy ram..sadly.

Cons: My DDR2 Crucial tracer memory one of them died and Crucial does not have it any more and instead of doing like any other company does, exchange for an equal or better product they had the nerves to offer me the cheapest memory with slowest cast and not even heat spreaders.
Seriously, I had their best RAM at the time I bought it and they dare offer me their crappiest one? The other offer was laughable..a $9 dollar credit!
I ended up having to argue until they decided to exchange it for this RAM on this review but a costumer shouldnt have to fight to get that is fair. Of course, they do that hoping the customer is someone with no knowledge of computers.
Buyer beware....

Other Thoughts: I wish someone else had LED flashy ram but oh well...its the only option in town so I hope my DDR3 ram never dies..

Manufacturer Response:

Hello,

Sorry to hear that your DDR2 Ballistix Tracer memory died. We did EOL that product a long time ago and as a specialty product we just don't have a replacment. We will pass your comments back to the support team, they should give fair market value for any product that is EOL or exchange with similar product. Today we only have standard Crucial DDR2 or Ballistix DDR2 without LEDs. Depending on the speed and latency you had previously we may not be able to exchange with the exact timings as those components simply are not available anymore. We offer a fair limited lifetime warranty and work our best to offer an acceptable option on end of life products.

Regards,
Crucial

Pros: Good memory for the first 3-5 years

Cons: The worst tech support, and warranty on the planet!!!!

Other Thoughts: I bought a dual channel set of the ballistix a few years ago. They both gave up the ghost after about 4 years. A so called lifetime warranty is a full line of cr??! All I was offered in return was a set of there el cheapo memory and the final red hot poker was that they were going to charge me shipping on it!!!!!!! So if you want memory to last you go with Hyperx or ripjaws at least they live up to there warranties!!!!!!

Manufacturer Response:

Hello,

We fully stand behind our product and warranty. Some products EOL and there is not a direct replacement but we will offer a comparible option(s) or fair market value of credit to use at Crucial. We're sorry that some of the specialty Ballistix DDR2 doesn't have a direct replacment (this is true of other competative brands as well) but we should have worked out an acceptable offer. If you still have any concerns, please contact our support at 1-800-336-8896 or use one of our on-line support options at http://www.crucial.com/help/ or request talking to a manager to assist.

Regard,
Crucial

Pros: Found this on sale two for $36.
working perfect

Cons: None

Pros: They come with heat shredders one them. Was on sale for 17.99. Replaced 4 1gig "Mushkin Enhanced Blackline". They give me another point on the windows hardware rating.

Cons: Came back to order a couple more To send to a friend and "OUT OF STOCK" so you lose an Egg!!

Other Thoughts: Got them in 6 days, but post office just SHOVED the whole package into my mailbox, good thing Crucials package is sturdy.

Inside of my case was so dirty (sits under the desk next to 2 others), been 3 years sense I have opened it last /sigh!

So cleaned it all up as well as the other 2, got a 30 deg cool down on one of them lol.

So do not do like me check them cases now and then!!

Note to self, buy more A.S. so next time you can clean the heatsink better.
