@ 2007/07/13The Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC2-8500 CL5 memory modules reaches with default Vmem clearly the top of all tested memory modules and even beat their own Ballistix PC2-8000 modules. The frequency of 461 MHz was reached with the Athlon 64 3000 CPU on 9x 265 MHz reference clock = 2385 MHz and
fast 4-4-4-10 2T timings, whereby it's of course possible to increase the frequency with slower timings. If the motherboard doesn't allow such a high Vmem (memory voltage), nevertheless good OC results can be achieved.
Whereby the results can be strongly improved above approximately 2.20 V and would be thus optimal. The new Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC2-8500 memory modules (1x BL2KIT12864AL1065 or 2x BL12864AL1065) can be enormously overclocked with the default memory voltage and are thanks to the integrated LED lighting a fancy eye-catcher in a PC or Mac.
