I just got my Newegg Special edition Crucial Ballistix Tracers with the D9GMH (B6-3) rated at 4-4-4-12 2T at 2.2v. These are made for Newegg's upcoming Lanfest promotion. Notice the blue LED placement. These are a limited edition and wont last long!
Here is a post at AnandTech's forums about the ICs. These modules are the BL2KIT12864AL804 Tracers modded for newegg.

Type: DDR2 PC2-6400
Frequency: 1200Mhz
Timings: 5-5-5-15 - 2T
Voltage: 2.15v
Memory Size: 2GB (2 * 1GB)



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


These modules are monsters. DDR2 1200 @ 2.15v 5-5-5-15 2T 3 Hrs Memtest and 1 Hr Orthos!

Nice!

I still don't think its needed to have ram running at anything over 1066Mhz because you do nothing which will take advantage of the extra bandwidth.

Although i may give it a try

Looks promising. Might have to give it a try.

I agree with you 100%. There is no reason to run them faster then the FSB. I run them 24/7 at DDR2 900 to match my 450 FSB. I was just asked by another member to stress test them and see how high they would go at 2.15v.

Thumbs up

Yay... I'm in the club too....

2GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 (BL2KIT12864AA1065)
Stock Timing: 5-5-5-15 2T
Stock Speed: 1066
Stock Voltage: 2.2v

I'm presently running them below that. I can run them up to 945 MHz @ 4-4-4-8 2T, but after that no matter what combinations of vDimm, NB, etc. I put into BIOS, the computer won't boot.

I'm running my E6850 at 3.6 GHz.

Based on what I've seen in this thread I think I may have to run them up to stock 1066, 5-5-5-15 2T and see what happens.

My pc wont load up properly much past 1150Mhz, with ram set 1:1 on stock 5-5-5-15 timing

is this the ram holding it back or just an fsb hole? cos i see people on here with faster ram than that
