Default Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2-800 2GB Memory Kit @ TheTechLounge

Good RAM wouldn't be good if it didn't have rows of flashing lights under
its heatspreader. Wait, that makes no sense. RAM is good when it, and,
therefore, your computer, blazes. It should be about lower latencies and
higher bandwidth, not Blinken- and ground lights. But are the two mutually
exclusive? If we apply rice theory, spinners and lights may be added to any
vehicle (import or domestic--although it's pretty hard to be impressed by a
pimped-out Taurus) and imply, but are not evidence of, high performance. OK,
so hear me out--there's a place where that metaphor comes back to fit, fer
rills. Real racecars don't have lights and junk. That's heavy. Can
high-performance RAM have lights? Will the extra stuff and/or heat weigh
down the memory just as surely as would a tail fin lovingly crafted from
Bondo?
