A memory upgrade is typically the easiest and least expensive way to boost your computers performance. While any time is good to add more memory, there are some scenarios in which adding a memory upgrade makes great sense and can dramatically improve your computers performance: Youve upgraded your operating system OS. Youve installed memory-intensive software like photo-editing or a 3-D video game. You work with large files or with three or more programmes at a time. Youve added hardware, such as a new processor or a video card. Youve purchased a new computer that came with too little system memory. Backed by 25 years of Micron experience and the expertise of Microns global team of engineers, Crucial is well-established as the memory industry expert. As a division of Micron, one of the worlds leading providers of advanced semiconductor solutions, Crucial actually makes the memory they sell, right down to the chips.

Ballistix Tracer memory is specifically built for performance enthusiasts and case modders who want to push the performance envelope while adding flash appeal to their boxes. The Ballistix line of high-performance memory modules features advanced speed grades, low latencies, and integrated aluminum heat spreaders. Ballistix Tracer memory features a black PCB, black integrated heat spreaders, and one or two rows of eight "chasing" red and green LEDs atop the module, circulating in a random pattern based on memory utilization. A custom-designed circuit relays bus activity to the LEDs, allowing them to accurately reflect usage of each memory module. In addition, eight blue ground effects LEDs emit a constant glow near the pins. Less
