Excellent quality...Great price

Strengths: Runs at DDR2 1066 at its specified voltage of 2.2 volts at timings of 5-5-5-15 Excellent aesthetics with LEDs Stays cool Lifetime warranty Uses Micron D9 chips - highest quality

Weakness: If any - price (but you get what you pay for - in this case, quality)

I have been using a previous set and I'm adding another set of 2GB. Crucial is a division of Micron, who manufacturers RAM chips for other brands such as Mushkin, another popular RAM company. Because it is a division of Micron, you know you are getting the highest quality at the best price. This ram overclocks extremely well. It will easily reach 1100, and in cases where I've read about them...

Good set of Memory with LEDS

Strengths: Micron chips. Installs easily. Good performance.

Weakness: None.

Installed easily, machine booted right up with no issues. Continues to run smoothly and still no problems after 2 months. Running at stock timings. LEDS are a nice touch and look pretty cool. Bought these with a rebate which arrived in 5 weeks. Overall very satisfied with this purchase.

Memory that twinkles!

Strengths: Solid, stable memory modules. Fast. Bright.

Weakness: Price. Works as well as cheaper memory.

This memory works great at advertised frequencies. I have these 2GB worth running in dual-channel mode on an Asus mainboard with an Intel Quad-Core CPU and an 8800 GTS video card. Everything I used to build this PC is high-end, and this memory fits right in. My case, CPU cooler, and power supply fans all feature LED illumination, so I figured the memory should light up as well. The modules light...

The BEST memory you can buy (in DDR2)

Strengths: Cool looking LED lights (for those windowed cases), Micron's D9 with Lifetime warranty. Boots up at 1.8v, unlike OCZ's, saving you time when you first start it up. Overclocks to 1200 stable.

Weakness: Hmmm...the Price? But then you are already getting the Micron's Top of the line DDR2 memory at lowest price ever (these costed over 2x as much just last winter).

As already mentioned, these are the best DDR2 memory available from the Crucial (a division of Micron) and is currently priced at the lowest ever. You can get the version without the LEDs for bit cheaper but if you've got the windowed case, these are the ones you WILL want. Comes with lifetime warranty and boots fine at 1.8v and has stock voltage rating of 2.2v. While overclocking will vary,...

Great ram...with lights!!!

Strengths: Crucial lifetime warranty, fast even at stock speeds...

Weakness: N/A

This memory is some of the best out there with 1066 stock speeds. Come with Crucial's killer lifetime warranty. If you're into bling and/or have a case with a window these might be just for you. With my new motherboard arriving soon I'll really be able to push these. I'm sure I won't be disappointed. Many overclockers have reached 1200 speed or more with this ram. Price cuts came at the right...

Great, colorful addition to any computer.

Strengths: Cool flashing LEDs at the base and the top of the ram chips - adds extra color to your computer. Super fast gaming memory!

Weakness: None - they worked even though my motherboard(NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI) was not listed as supporting the memory. Than again, I have not tried to over-clock them.

Personally, I absolutely love the LED lights on the RAM, I must admit that I purchased them for the pure fact that they had the LEDs on them. However, the deal I got for them was far better than their similar counter-parts without LEDs, so needless to say, I was pleased. I have not tried to over-clock them at all, as I believe they are already fast enough for most people's needs. However, I have...
