After witnessing the excellent overclocking potential from this memory, it is hard to wrap your brain around the fact that this memory costs less than US$100 for a 2 Gig kit. It's cheap, it's stable, it's incredibly overclockable and for garnish has its interesting LED illumination to light up your gaming case.

Wow, what a difference a few months makes. In February, you couldn't purchase a 2GB DDR2-800 memory kit for less than $250. Nowadays, with the prices of memory decreasing almost every day, you can easily buy a 2GB DDR2 kit for almost $200. These price drops shouldn't make consumers think that these more "affordable" RAM modules are packed with any less performance though. To the contrary, Crucial's 2GB Ballistix Tracer PC2-8500 memory kit not only packs a punch at 1066MHz, but will also look amazing with its array of color LEDs on the top and bottom of each stick!

The last time we looked at Ballistix tracer memory from Crucial it performed great and received our Editor's Choice Award. This time we are taking a look at the faster PC2-8500 memory running at 1066MHz. If you didn't check out our review of the PC2-6400 Ballistix Tracer memory the actual modules feature two rows of eight "chasing" red and green LED's atop the module, circulating at varying speeds proportional to usage. So let's take a look...

You get what you pay for". It's a phrase we hear often, but how much does this statement reflect the truth? The Crucial Ballistix Tracer product lineup is intended to satisfy those who care about aesthetics just as much as performance. So with the Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC2-8500 2GB DDR2 Memory Kit, do you get what you pay for? We'll let you be the judge.

Esthetics and appearance aside, these modules are pretty solid...okay, so they are extremely satisfying. You are basically getting the fastest binned memory from the manufacturer who makes the most important component in any other kit of memory rated at the same speed or higher. I am a bench marker and out-right performance is all that impresses me with memory. The 3-4-3 overclocking of this memory has me very impressed and I have had some good kits at those timings. the bonus with this kit is that it clocks at 5-5-5 as well as some of the PC2-9200 modules out there.
