Many of us wondered for years why Crucial, a long time leader in the memory industry, never entered the 'performance DDR' segment. I just always figured they were making enough money selling to OEMs and to the average consumer who just wanted some RAM.

That is no longer the case today. Earlier this year, Crucial introduced an enthusiast line called 'Ballistix,' which is obviously intended to grab gamers' attention. The Ballistix DDR has grabbed plenty of positive attention and feedback from users and reviewers alike. Crucial sent us some DDR2 from the Ballistix family, so we'll get to see firsthand if Crucial truly can deliver what enthusiasts want.
