Crucial's Ballistix BL2KIT6464Z503 is the baby of the memory kits consisting of a matched pair of 512MB BL6464Z503 modules. Although half the size of the larger kit it still boasts the same impressive specifications and performance wise far outstrips any of the lesser generic memory types. It comes with the customary Gold coloured heatsinks and black PCB which sets the look off completely. It is a must have if you are looking for gaming memory and with so few manufacturers venturing into this high specification marketplace we would expect Crucial to do very well indeed.
