Conclusion
With the Ballistix Tracer line of high performance memory, Crucial indroduces an excellent product into the high speed DDR2 ram market. Though they retail at the At $299 on Crucial's website, these memory modules can be found for a significantly cheaper price on other channels, especially if you buy when rebates are available (I've seen them for as low as $140!). If you can get them at that price, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars, BUY THEM AS FAST AS YOU CAN! Even at $299, these modules are still excellent performers. If you're looking for memory capable of DDR 1066 and beyond, this may very well be the product for you.
