When looking for DDR2 memory, there are a couple of key
factors to remember. One of them is the speed, but not everyone can afford the
fastest memory on the market. Most will look for affordable memory that will
overclock well but still have excellent memory timing. Timing is the other
important factor. Finding this combination is easier said than
done, but the Crucial DDR2 PC2-5300 Anniversary Memory
has this and more. It not only does a fast 3-3-3-12 default memory timing at
the 667MHz DDR2 speed but can be overclocked. I was pleasantly surprised to be
able to push this memory to a 3-3-3-10 memory timing at 800MHz DDR2. This stable
overclock is
very impressive to say the least. Not only does this memory overclock very well
and perform brilliantly, but it looks fantastic. I absolutely adore the
appearance of the heatspreader with its embossed silver logo in a sea of blue! Congratulations
Crucial on your 10th anniversary, here's to a many more.
Oh, almost forgot to mention the Crucial Anniversary Memory Bar. Seriously, I
found it in the same package as the memory. It's solid
chocolate and tastes great. Yummy bar, but yummier memory!
