DDR2-1000 tested: Crucial Ballistix and Super Talent

Memory by KeithSuppe @ 2007-05-25

Today we take two popular kits PC2-8000 from Crucial (Ballistix PC2-8000) and Super Talent (PC2-8000 T1000UX2G5) for a spin. Tests will focus on the tightest manual timings at several speed grades across AMD and Intel systems.

AMD Test Results

Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe (BIOS 904)

The following AMD system settings provided the results below:

  • Opteron 1212
  • 10x200FSB = 2000MHz / DDR2 - 800MHz / CPU:5-Divisor
  • 10x250FSB = 2500MHz / DDR2 - 1000MHz / CPU:5-Divisor
  • 10x265FSB = 2650MHz / DDR2 - 1060MHz / CPU:5-Divisor
  • 10x275FSB = 2750MHz / DDR2 - 1100MHz / CPU:5-Divisor (Super Talent only)


  • Each kit was tested under the FSB + bootstrap combinations above at the tightest timings possible and while keeping DDR2-Voltage at the Manufacturer's specification or 2.2V. Crucial Ballistix were not stable beyond 1066MHz and at this speed were most stable running SPD. Super Talent overclocked slightly higher to 1100MHz on the AMD test system from SPD.

    As we begin benchmarks which are more 3D-oriented it's important to note our AMD system used the BFG 8800GTX graphic card.

    At the very least AMD AM2 Opteron benchmarks exemplify how powerful this processor still is. Since Memron’s metamorphosis into a desktop version of itself the overclocking community has been intoxicated by its scalability. In our conclusion we'll compare results untainted by GPU differences ->
