Crucial Ballistix 1GB Memory Review @ Motherboards.org

These modules came to us in small, relatively uninspired cardboard boxes. While these little guys looked fairly unassuming, their contents would be deadly. While it is questionable whether or not these cases will protect the memory during a long and arduous trek, fret with falls and hardware soccer playing couriers, the modules arrived to us in pristine condition, wrapped only in a thin layer of everybody’s favorite – bubble wrap, lining the inside of an envelope. When I slid the little boxes from the envelope, I was at first perplexed by the simplicity of the packaging, a thought which passed quickly as a knife made haste for the box’s seal. On opening the box, we were presented with the module itself, wrapped within an anti-static bag and coddled within a small cardboard insert intended to keep it from moving. Along with the module came a quick start guide and a Ballistix sticker. While it’s not the most extravagant or flashy packaging, it does its job well, and that’s all that matters. It wouldn’t take me long to snip the tops from these packages, and to find myself in possession of two beautiful memory modules, fresh from Crucial themselves, carrying that new hardware smell that we all know and love.
