Crucial 2GB Ballistix Tracer PC2-8500 DDR2 Memory Kit

Last week I got the chance to play with 2GB of Crucial Ballistix Tracer memory modules, rated at DDR2-1066 on 5-5-5-15 timings. First thing I noticed was the Heatspreader, black with a thick shiny carved edge around it. As if the sixteen led’s weren't enough bling-bling :-) Instead of starting slow by benchmarking it with the default timings/settings I jumped straight to see how it would perform overclocked.
