With the arrival of the Intel Santa Rosa platform, memory manufacturers have released new SO-DIMM memory with 400MHz running speed (DDR2-800). In either one or two gigabyte modules, upgrading the memory does improve performance, especially under the VISTA operating system.

DDR2 has become mainstream this year and the DDR2-8500 category is probably one of the most popular, providing a balanced mix of good performance and overclocking capabilities. The recent price drops have also made these memory modules very appealing for most users.

Memory requirements, both in capacity and performance, have increased as operating systems become more and more demanding.

Recently, Crucial announced a new, faster memory that can reach 1067MHz. How much faster is the new memory and how much higher can you overclock it, especially, compared with the "older" PC2-8000? We will find out in this review, but first, let's meet the Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 series.
