Todays RAM review focuses on Crucial’s Ballistix Sport series of RAM, the 1600MHz flavor to be specific. These days the generic advice for ram is to aim for 1600MHz with 9-9-9 primary timings if you aren’t planning on doing a lot of benching.
Conveniently the ram I have in front of me today is 1600MHz, with 9-9-9 primary timings! It also comes with a nice low voltage of 1.5v and aluminum heatspreaders.

Before we move on to the kit itself, Crucial gets some space for their “About Us” message.
