Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR3 PC3-12800 6GB kit

Introduction

Crucial Technology should now be called Lexar Media but people in the PC market still recognise and hold value with the Crucial name. Much the same as those in the know will recognise Micron, the company renown for making extremely good integrated chips on memory products. Micron Europe are the parent company of Lexar who have the fingers in almost every memory component you can think of from Solid State Drives to USB flash drives and of course the product we are reviewing to day, PC memory.

The Ballistix brand name is the pinnacle of Crucial’s PC memory product line and has been widely used by PC enthusiasts for years thanks to the magnificent overclocking abilities. As overclockers we tend to push things a little too far but fear not because Crucial offer limited lifetime warranty. Backed up by one of the most famous names in the memory sector, you can be assured that the product you are buying is top of the line.

We were very impressed with the last Crucial kit we reviewed so here’s hoping for a repeat performance.

Let’s see how Crucial have presented their latest Ballistix kit…
