The DDR2 Roundup Part 2 @ Motherboards.org

“The performance of all the contenders was truly outstanding. Crucial’s Ballistix Tracer was the only one who could not make the cut for low latency. Does that mean that it’s no good? Of course, it does not. Even without the low latency numbers, the Tracer still provides innovative performance; and at times even win in certain tests. While low latency is good and ideal, the performance gain is just not there to back up the hype. With all the memory, performing so closely together the choice is actually up to the buyer. It really depends on what company you favor most and the memory aesthetics. Some prefer flashing lights while some don’t. It’s all up to you.”

All excellent memory, but if you want the best bang for the buck, can’t go wrong with Amp-X. I’ll have our more detailed review soon.
