Introduction
Crucial, one of the most known memory leading companies has been around for several years now. Starting with their first DDR memories, continuing to their DDR2 memory modules, and now they hit the shot with their new DDR3 memories. Since the start of their company they have been making solid, high-quality memories that don’t let us customers down. This time we are reviewing the Crucial Ballistix 2x 1GB DDR3-12800 1600Mhz 8-8-8-24 Memory Kit.
Many of us have heard a few bad things about DDR3 memories for the past few months, like for example its poor performance compared to DDR2 memories, very high timings, and of course its very high price tag. Well this is why we have to review to take a look at these factors and see if this really is the truth or is it just a rumor that is going around. Without more further ado, let’s take a look at what this memory got.
What Crucial Has To Say About Their Company…
Crucial is different from other memory vendors. As a division of Micron, Crucial Technology is the only company in the world that actually manufactures memory and sells it directly to individual computer users. The comprehensive Crucial(R) Memory Advisor(TM) tool makes it easy to find the right memory for any system—and compatibility is 100 percent guaranteed. Our customers buy from us with the confidence that all high-quality Crucial memory is backed by award-winning service and support.
About the Company
The Crucial story starts with Micron Technology, Inc., one of the largest dynamic random access memory (DRAM) manufacturers in the world and the only one based in the U.S. Headquartered in Boise, Idaho, Micron manufactures DRAM chips and assembles them into high-quality memory modules for sale to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") worldwide.
For nearly three decades, Micron has learned that when you make some of the very best memory in the world, lots of companies want it, from computer makers to wireless device manufacturers to printer producers. (And we're really glad that they do!)
But then Micron asked, well, what about the end user? What about the everyday folks who want to upgrade their existing systems with OEM-quality memory — the home desktop user, the IT network guy, the student notebook user? Why don't we offer our memory to the public, at factory-direct pricing?
So in 1996, Micron responded to a growing demand for high-quality memory upgrades among end users who wanted the best possible performance from their systems. Micron launched Crucial Technology in September of that year, and for the first time, end users had the opportunity to buy directly from the manufacturer the same memory modules bought by the world's major OEMs for original installation in their systems.
Having a direct sales division focused on selling Micron's DRAM to the public was apparently an idea whose time had come, and 10 successful years later, we have expanded our product line to include flash cards and readers, and USB flash drives.
Why is Crucial thriving? We offer our customers a number of clear advantages over our competitors.
