Crucial has been all over the market as of late with new capacity Flash Cards, USB drives, Solid State Drives, and especially Performance DRAM. I've been thoroughly testing and experimenting with their latest Ballistix DDR3 PC3-12800 2GB Dual Channel Kit, or DDR3 1600MHz memory. And yes, this kit does scream at 1600MHz. Read on and see.

These modules are rated for operation at DDR3-1600 which is PC3-12800 at 1.8V. The modules have SPD values for lower speeds (DDR3-1066) at JEDEC specs to provide boards the needed initial boot to provide the RAM with the proper voltage and timings. The stock timings at DDR3-1600 are 8-8-8-24. DDR3 latencies are very high compared to DDR2 and should only get better in time. These modules are lead free which helps the environment. Nothing like being green in today's world. I almost forgot that the command rate is 1T which means you get an extra performance boost.

Crucial Ballistix DDR2 kits have always been a favorite among overclockers. Today we'll be reviewing the DDR3 incarnation to see if they are worthy of the Ballistix name.

DDR3 memory is all the hype right now, particularly with Intel's X38 chipset making waves. Crucial's entry into the enthusiast class DDR3 memory line the 2GB Ballistix PC3-12800 CL8 memory kit. Each stick in this pair is 1GB in capacity, and runs by default at DDR3-1600 speeds. With timings of 8-8-8-20, what we really want to know is how far will this Ballistix PC3-12800 CL8 memory overclock.

Serious enthusiasts should be able to make good use of system memory like the Crucial Ballistix 2GB PC3-12800 DDR3. Even though things are constantly evolving, you have to assume memory with such a high frequency and tight timings should keep a modern system humming along nicely for quite a while without showing signs of age.

The DDR3 revolution has only just begun and the performance is already better than a lot of people figured it would be. The clocks we are seeing from these Micron D9GTR ICs on the Crucial Ballistix modules are simply incredible and un-matched by anyone else at the moment, much like the Micron D9GMH/GKX of DDR2.
