Now I use my computer, however, not only to play, what these 8GB would continue to have sufficed, but am working intensively with things like the image and video editing. And I also like to use even multiple applications simultaneously in order to work side by side with this can. The 8GB of RAM were for it in the past but not enough, then Windows Me has also always "friendly" pointed. This has partly been severely limited me in my projects. With the 16 GB I now have much more space, also for more demanding projects.
That speed and timing play a crucial role, I think is a myth. Confirm conducted by magazines test me in this assumption. There, the different speeds differed in the benchmarks (real, practical applications!) Very low. In this respect, more expensive RAM already provides a little more power, in the range of a few percent more, respectively, within a few seconds of these tests less the immense charge my opinion, however, is worth at all. I am therefore left with the Ballistix Sport bars strictly after the price. 1600MHz CL9 and timings are also not at all bad, but certainly a good compromise.
I have chosen 2x 8GB bars to keep me in this way a future upgrade to 32 GB through two bars of this series can open, should I need it again. 32GB would be also the highest value, the support my new motherboard and processor.
Latches look very high, even if was free of many optical illusions. So the PCB of the RAM is normally green, appealing I had a black found. This would also fit better to the black motherboard. The attached heatsink is also smaller than many others on the market, but his work can do well. I want to overclock my RAM above mentioned reasons anyway. Because yellow elements (such as heat sinks on my motherboard) I have long flirted with the more expensive Ballistix Tactical. However, my case is closed anyway (without window) and otherwise price / performance to me is more important in this case.
Conclusion: The Crucial Ballistix Sport you get very good at present DDR3 RAM at an outstanding price. But I must say that I ordered it from another dealer, where it is again 10-20 cheaper. One should be compared with known price search engine so maybe.
