Overall: A decent 2GB upgrade kit if you don't mind spending a lot

Crucial has been quite late to market with its DDR3 memory modules, which is perhaps understandable as the demand for DDR3 is still in its early days and the price is still pretty restrictive.

There are two speeds: PC3-8500 (1,066MHz) in the standard range, and PC3-12800 (1,600MHz) in the performance Ballistix product line.

At present the PC3-8500 is available from single 512MB modules up to 4GB kits, while the faster PC3-12800 is available only as 1GB modules or 2GB kits. The memory runs with a latency of 8-8-8-24 at 1.8V as standard. If you must have DDR3 memory this 2GB kit performs well, but is also expensive.
