The new DDR2 PC2-8500 modules broaden Crucial's high-performance memory product lines and are optimized to provide excellent performance on newer motherboards.

Along with Ballistix PC2-6400 and PC2-8000 modules, these new 1066MHz modules utilize Enhanced Performance Profiles (EPP) memory technology by simplifying overclocking in EPP-supported systems. EPP technology allows preconfigured performance memory settings to be built into high-performance memory DIMMs, increasing overall PC system performance.

Ballistix and Ballistix Tracer DDR2 PC2-8500 memory is available in 1GB modules, as well as in 2GB kits
