Crucial 2GB DDR2 SDRAM Memory Module - 112438
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-6400 800MHz 240-pin DDR2 Memory

Now significantly cheaper than when I bought them, but a good buy at the time. Have worked flawlessly.

yea the ram doesnt cost much, but batch after batch is defective/fails after very little amount of use. had for about 3 months before both sticks went bad. tons of reviews say the same thing, especially after they made the ram single sided instead of double sided like it originally was

This is not the fastest but for 2GB's sub $20 it is great... Make sure you adjust the timing on your Mobo to get max speed.

Installed on a Dell XPS 420 with an Intel Quad Core 6600 processor, running at 2.4 gig. Installation was easy as pie and it works fine. Noticable improvement over previous memory configuration. Has been installed for over two weeks without a single issue. Well worth the price of admission. Used free shipping option and it got here in two days.

I have this memory for about 2 weeks. Installation was easy, and my new rig recognized it as dual 800 on first POST. Runs stable under 1.98 volt, not so hot. Did not try to overclock them yet. Inexpensive, good looking, stable - what else? Submitted rebate but did not see it yet to be accepted. Prices on memory are droping and I hope to buy 1066 8GB pair for $50 in 2 years to install new MS Windows OS currently under development.

I bought this RAM to upgrade my mothers old Dell 4700, and has worked out great. You can really tell the difference between the 512 original memory, and this 4GB's. Where else can you get 4 gigs of good RAM for $50, after the rebates! Go for it. JP

I got this kit for $19.99 after rebate. You can't beat that with a stick. It's 2 gigs, it works, and it's played nice with my pre-existing 4 gigs of mushkin, so it was a steal for me.

I bought four sticks and have used them for about a week. I jumped from 1G of RAM to 4G. So far, well worth the investment.

worked fine when i put it in, so i removed upc for rebate, and the next day my computer started crashing.i have sent the ram back to crucial for replacement, since i can not return the memory to buy.com after removing the upc. this of course is not buy.com's fault.i have bought many items from them, and thier service has been great.not sure how long i will be without the memory, but crucial did not hassle me, and it's lifetime warranty memory.i was not even trying to overclock, or even run at stock, just trying to match my other 2 gigs of stock memory at 5-5-5 15 1.8v. i tried bumping up to 2v, but it didnt help.cpuid shows that its rated to run 5-5-5 15 at 1.8v btw.

The RAM works fine on my DELL Inspiron, but could not run at 800 MHz when mixed with pre-installed Samsung (800MHZ) chips. However, it runs at 800 MHz without the Samsung chips. The free shipping was too slow, it took almost two full weeks to receive.

Ordered 2 of these, one for my home PC and one for my work PC. One uses XP, other Vista, both work fantastic. Installed both in under 1 min. Windows loading time is much faster, applications load faster and run smoother. Can't complain yet, and the price is ridiculously cheap. Just waiting for rebates now (fingers crossed)

I bought the 2gb kit and it obviously installs easily. Before I bought this memory, I read a lot of semi-negative and some plain old negative reviews on the memory. I am here to report that this memory is stable and error free, so far. I will check back in a month with further results after a little overclocking action.

Wanted to update my last review from June 18, 2008. I updated my Vista PC with SP1 and magically, the 4th memory stick works now. Thanks MSFT for the fix, I think.....

This is good stuff! I purchased an Acer tower, it came with 1G RAM, Windows Vista Home Edt...slower than molasses...added the 2G of Crucial RAM, not it runs like a scalded dog! Best thing I could have done.

This 2gb kit was easy to install and after configuring timings in the bios, ran at the advertised speeds. No problems whatsoever. Thanks to Buy.com for the quick delivery too.

I got all happy when I was building a new rig and installing 4 of these sticks. When to run it for the first time and I got me a blue screen. Fooled around a bit and finally found out it was one of the sticks that was causing it. Even though I am only using three sticks, my rig is awesome. Would have gotten a 5.9 in Vista but due to lower memory, got a 4.6......

Great 2G memory for a really good price especially after rebate. I bought these Crucial Ballistix 2GB kit from other online store about 2 months ago. The memory was running fine in my AMD x64 5600 gaming computer for about 1.5 months and started getting BOD on both my Vista Ultimate 32bit and Windows XP 64-bit. (I have dual boot since I got 32-bit Vista Ultimate for free from attending a MS event so I had to try it.) I bought the exact same memory 2 weeks ago from Buy.com to replace the defective ones. The problem went away. I contacted Crucial and they are issuing an RMA. Hopefully they'll send replacements for me and I'll have 4G in my system.

I bought an HP Pavilion Slimline s3100n here on buy.com a few months back and I love it, with the exception of a few performance disappointments on graphics-intensive apps (i.e., games). I bought this Ballistix memory set to upgrade from the stock 1 gig (2 x 512 meg) to the 2 gig max config. Even though the memory speed is rated higher than the computer bus can take full advantage of, it works perfectly in the s3100n and it made a big improvement in performance. Specifically the Windows Experience Index subscore for memory ops per second went from 3.9 clear up to 5.3 (max is 5.9). The subscore for desktop performance for Aero (previously the limiting factor) went from 2.5 to 3.0. All this at an amazingly low price. I really don't think I've ever been happier about the value of any purchase I've ever made.

Works wonderful on my dual core AMD processor. Takes about six weeks to get the rebate from Crucial. Make sure you use the correct date range for the rebate form on the Buy.com web site.

I bought this memory and it took almost two weeks to get to me. when I received the memory the rebate was conveniently expired.

These two memory chips work great with my ASUS motherboard and my AMD processor. I highly recommend this product. Please make sure that you ave the right rebate form when you submit it; buy.com seems to post a new rebate form every two weeks.

I've been running with these parts for about a month now (non-stop). They are solidly built and the heat-sinks seem securely attached. I installed them in a GIGABYTE GA-MA74GM-S2H motherboard with a AMD64 X2 5200+ 2.7GHz. I configured them for 2.1v and 4-4-4-12 timing over-clocked to 840GHz. I run intense Bionic SW in the background which really exercises them and have also run UT and Guild Wars w/o incident. I would recommend them to anyone.

I purchased this memory to upgrade a Dell Inspiron 530. The memory works flawlessly, and with the rebate it was very inexpensive.

I have these parts running on the GIGABYTE GA-MA74GM-S2H with a Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Brisbane 2.7GHz over-clocked to 2.84Ghz and it performs w/o a hiccup. I have think the BIOS has it running at 5-5-5-15 instead of 4-4-4-12 (the motherboard is not giving me the options to change it) but the memory bus speed is 840MHz because it's over-clocked. I have it running at 2.1v. With the rebate, it's good bang-for-the-buck.

I ended up paying about $34 for 2gb. What a great deal. Very stable memory. Unbeatable deal....

Very happy with this memory. Popped it into my motherboard and it worked great. I had some concern since the memory says it is 2.2V, and my motherboard supposedly can't handle above 2V memory, but it worked fine. Just waiting for my rebate check now.....

(*Although this is the "review" section, I am posting a question 'cause I can't seem to find the info elsewhere**I'll check back soon to see if anyone has commented*) I am wanting to purchase the Crucial Ballistix 2GB kit (2x 1gb) PC2-6400 DDR2-800Mhz; 2.2V; CL 4-4-4-12. I will be installing it into a Dell Vostro 200 mini; Intel e4550; pre-installed with 1gb (2x 512mb) PC2-5300 DDR2-677Mhz...unknown CL, and I'm certain they run @ 1.8V, although I may be wrong. I already know that if mixed, the performance defaults to the slower module's speed, but I'm questioning the compatibility because of the (listed) voltage difference. Are these two particular types of memory compatible? Any insight to this matter will be greatly appreciated!

I bought two bundles of this and received to bad sticks....and what is left of that my computer only recognizes about 3/4 of that....i guess if you get good sticks then it would be a great value.

One of the first pair of sticks I bought was bad, so had to RMA. RMA was easy, though a bit slow. I was worried about making the rebate deadline in time. Second pair arrived and are workin flawlessly. I also have a pair of Patriot sticks with the same timing and they play well together. Havn't tried overclocking yet, but will try soon.

used for my first build and couldn't be happier. both sticks were picked up immediately and haven;t even needed to change voltage with my OC'ing (OC'd by 27%). Rebate received with no issue
 
Was this review helpful?    

Lets face it, for the pc2-6400 sticks running at the lower timings of 4-4-4-12 this was a super deal. There was no problems and I even overclocked them just a bit. They run fast and stable while looking nice too (if that matters). Great ram at a great price!

Great memory, not one issue with it. If your looking for some good memory, this is the momory for you, Buy.com is the place to get it. Received my memory in 2 days, now back to gamming.

I bought this memory to use in Dell XPS 420. I purchased the Dell with 2GB of 800MHZ memory on board and this would bring me to a total of 4GB of 800MHZ Memory. Unfortunately, Dell didn't document that their OEM memory runs at 1.8volts. This memory runs at 2.2volts. As a result of the differing voltages adding this kit to the machine made all 4GB run at 667MHZ. Of course it took some time to deal with Dell to discover this undocumented issue and as a result I have exceeded the time allowed to return this memory.

I got 4GB (2 of the 2x1GB packages) for $119.90, no rebate needed, free shipping. Put these in a HP m9060n which came with 3GB of PC2-5300 (which I stuck in my older system). Very stable so far, and no glitches with Blu-Ray and HD DVD playback.

Easy to install, memory has great reputation, works just fine. I installed it an upgraded to Vista. If Vista worked half as well as this memory (take it out of the box and it *actually* works) then Microsoft would be king.

Put it in an it was a notisable improvment - when I got my computer built last year these where almost $300.00 EACH! I thought the price would drop and it is now cheaper than the RAM I got for my 386 back in the 1980s' and that was megebytes not Gigabytes!!! 1 more happy camper!
