Buffalo Firestix PC2-6400 vs. Crucial Ballistix PC2-8000

If there ever was a time to rush out and buy DDR2, it is now. Prices on many modules are less than half; and in some cases a third of what they were less than six months ago. In this review, I will be comparing the performance of a 2X1GB kit of Crucial Ballistix DDR2 1000 with EPP to a 2X1GB kit of Buffalo Firestix DDR2 800. Despite their different frequency ratings, these two kits both contain Micron D9GMH memory chips and should be expected to perform somewhat similarly.
