i saw these at newegg a few months ago. i just checked on they are nowhere to be found. so unless you bought them a while ago, these are impossible to find anymore

DrunkenMafia · 12-10-2007, 12:41 AM

Great review nflesher... I didn't even know you did reviews.. lol

I did notice at the top of the super pi chart that it says "higher is better" I think you meant lower..

Yeah you're right, I have nothing better to do right now than proof read your review...

panchoman · 12-10-2007, 12:43 AM

love those. 52% oc, gotta love crucial handpicked memory

infrared · 12-10-2007, 12:47 AM

Haha, yeah. I never had a set that let me down.

Nice review nflesher!

I'd love to get my hands on some of those sticks!

nflesher87 · 12-10-2007, 01:59 AM

yeah guys I'm sorry to say that being a limited edition kit, these have already sold out, so the only way to snag a set is second hand...speaking of which trt is selling 2 kits in our B/S/T forum

mafia, this is my first review

and thanks for pointing out that discrepancy I'll fix it tomorrow, gotta study for my cell bio final in the morn right now

I'm going crazy!

infrared I was thinking about you when I made this review and how you love ballistix but hadn't noticed you around the forums in a long time! welcome back unless I've just not noticed you haha

Any and all feedback is much welcomed people!

I won two kits at Newegg Lanfest

I even got 2nd on the pc building contest

In my experience they are awesome, though they do run a tad hotter than I would have liked.

Anywho, great review on some great ram.

well according to sources at Micron (Crucial), these are to be considered identical to Tracers, just with a visual makeover
