Review: Fast, Stable, and Reliable Upgrade for Older Systems - Fast, Stable, and Reliable Upgrade for Older Systems I picked up the Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB kit (2x8GB DDR3-1600) to breathe new life into an older desktop, and it has done exactly that. Installation was as simple as snapping the modules into the DIMM slots—no adjustments needed in BIOS, as the system recognized the full 1600 MHz speed right away. Performance-wise, the difference is noticeable. Everyday tasks run smoother, and heavier applications that once struggled with 8GB now feel much more responsive. For gaming, it provides a stable boost, especially in titles that tend to be memory-hungry. Multitasking is also much easier, with far fewer slowdowns when running multiple browser tabs, streaming, and background apps. A big plus is that the sticks run cool and stable at the rated 1.5V. No crashes, no hiccups, just consistent performance. While DDR3 is an older standard now, this kit offers excellent value for those still running compatible systems and not ready to make the leap to DDR4 or DDR5. Bottom line: If you’ve got an older desktop and want an affordable, reliable upgrade, this Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB kit is a fantastic choice that delivers solid performance and stability.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Correct speed in BIOS, Memtest reported no errors after 24hr pass, Windows 10 Preview is MUCH snappier now.
*by M***. on February 24, 2015*

The only two brands I trust for my SSD's are Intel and Crucial, mainly used Corsair RAM in my main builds...but my next build may be getting a crucial kit after being impressed by this package. Worked out of the box with an unidentical stick of 4GB Patriot Intel Extreme Masters RAM with same timings. Using in my HTPC with AMD FX 8350 and MSI 970A-G46 w/8GB RAM with 2x Radeon 6850 in Crossfire (I know, dinosaur GPU.) Packaging was a tease (2xDIMM retail package with just the one stick) but was clearly labeled 4GB and fully sealed. The heat shield is a nice aesthetic touch in my Cooler Master HAF-XB EVO while chilling (literally) under a CM Hyper 212 cooler, no fitment issues (for those who have large coolers). I got lucky and the blue of the Patriot stick and the Black/Silver of the Crucial stick compliment my build fairly well. I run Steam in-home streaming, Plex Windows Server, Kodi, torrent clients, and a few Linux VM's simultaneously off of a Crucial M500 240GB SSD and the 8350 can really stretch its legs in this build. BIOS reported correct speed upon install, I'm a bit tired of seeing reviews that cry foul about the RAM being faulty when it loads up as 1333mhz or so. Ever consider that it's your motherboard, not the RAM, that is causing you such injustice? TL;DR Fast, cheap, reliable. Like a used Miata.
