The Ballistix line is specifically built for performance enthusiasts who want to push the performance envelope without worrying about data loss or corruption, mysterious intermittent errors and display problems, or worse the dreaded BSOD. The Ballistix line of high-performance memory modules features advanced speed grades, low latencies, and integrated aluminum heat spreaders.
Pros: Speed, stability, price (I got them on sale, so your results may vary)
Cons: None
Overall Review: I've been running four of these modules at 800MHz(x2) at 1.60v with timings of 8-8-8-24-36-2T (the XMP settings) for nearly a month now on an Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 motherboard, with an AMD Phenom II X4 955BE. I've been concentrating so much on software migration issues that I haven't taken the time to overclock anything yet, but the memory stability so far speaks for itself. However, part of the credit for that also goes to AMD for the improvements they made to the memory controller in their C3 stepping (Google "C3 stepping" and "memory controller"). Because of those improvements, I'm able to get the full rated speed and same low latency out of 4 modules as would be expected for only 2 modules, and even at slightly lowered voltage. The only glitch I've seen was when my system made it clear that a 1T command rate was unacceptable (what can I say, I got greedy).
