VR-Zone Hardware has posted a review of Crucial's New Ballistix DDR2-533 memory



In order to get more performance out of the Ballistix memory, we relaxed the memory timings to the JEDEC standard 4-4-4-12 and from the start, overclocked the our FSB to 220MHz, giving us a memory speed of 293MHz (now we're using the 3:4 FSB to DRAM ratio). The highest FSB we were able to run at 4-4-4-12 was 265MHz, giving us a final memory clock speed of 354MHz. We made a few stops along the way, benchmarking at 240, 250, and 255 MHz as well.
