Unreliable in the long run

Strengths: Good price, good warranty (you’ll need it)

Weakness: With prolonged exposure to any amount of heat (even a slight amount)these will fail

I've purchase 6 of these kits over the past year and have had to replace 4 of the 12 parts. They just don't last. If you have a system with even the slighest amount of heat this memory won't last a year in that system.

Excellent Overclocking Ram

Strengths: CAS 4, Great overclocking ability, Nice looking heatspreaders

Weakness: Runs a bit warm

Bought this kit at end of April and has been running great at 4-4-4-12 at 2.1V since then. Tested under memtest86 for 24 hours without an error at this voltage. I have been overclocking my E6300 with this kit for the past 2 months and the system runs smoothly without a hitch. It does get a bit warm so make sure the air flow is good inside the case.

crucial rules

Strengths: crucial relability A+ customer support

Weakness: needs 2.2 volts to function correctly

crucial relability and customer support is uncanny ,these babies also overclock pretty good on stock voltage put these in a biostar 965pt along with duo core 6300 and got 2.8 easy no sweat i would buy again

Superb Ram

Strengths: Overclock like a champ. At 5-5-5-15 2.4V, this kit pushed over 1200 Mhz. Pretty looking heat spreader

Weakness: Runs quite hot. Consider active cooling if possible.

It's made by Micron w/ D9GMH! Crucial binds their chip better than other maker. They are the cream of the crop and use only the best IC. They are becoming much more affordable at this point.

Overclocks well, Will not disappoint

Strengths: Overclocking ability Reliability

Weakness: None

Crucial has a well-deserved reputation for making reliable memory, and this kit is no exception. Excellent overclocking ability. The only potential drawback is that 2GB may be overkill. The 1GB kit would probably be enough for most people.

Great

Strengths: Overclocking capability! great looking heat spreaders, CL4 at 800mhz.

Weakness: 2.2v

These memory sticks overclock extremely well. I had 4 1gb sticks in an intel MB for a while, then i put them in my AMD one so i dont overclock them anymore, but they worked perfect while i did overclock them. Runs really fast CL4. Great price + rebate.

Terrific DDR2 SDRAM

Strengths: Fast, overclockable, nice heat spreaders, Crucial/Micron reliability

Weakness: Higher voltage needed

The Crucial/Micron Ballastic DDR2 SDRAM modules have always been very good in quality and reliability. Though it needs a higher voltage to operate, it runs very well at speed. The modules are easily overclockable to higher speeds without a sweat.

sweet memory

Strengths: Nicely OCs good lookin heat spreaders low timings

Weakness: none yet

This memory overclocked really nicely...was able to take it to 500mHz each without an issue still keeping the CAS timings at 4-4-4-12-2T and stock voltage...Defn would recommend them esp with the prices it has now. And of course with Crucial's awesome customer service and lifetime warranty

Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400 800MHz

Strengths: Micron D9, 4-4-4-12, SLI-certified, heatspreaders, headroom for overclocking, warranty

Weakness: MB compatability, may need to run at 2.2v

Great memory for overclocking with Micron D9 chips. SLI-certified memory with 4-4-4-12 latencies. Overclocked to over 1000 Mhz without any problems. Check motherboard for 2.2v ram voltage. Gold heatspreaders add to appearance.
