whats the difference between the plain crucial ballistix and the crucial baliistix tracers? it seems like tracers are reccomended more if you can find them at a compareable price... looks like they have the same voltages, same timings, garunteed d9 chips, same everything... except the tracers have a different color + LEDs on them
their part numbers are only 1 digit different -
BL2KIT12864AL804 - Ballistix Tracer
BL2KIT12864AA804 - Ballistix
are the color + LED really the only difference?
also -- question on dual channeling
would running 4x 1GB sticks be worse than running 2x 2GB sticks? i thought the 4x 1GB would be better as it'd utilise both dual channel .. channels (lol), but i read somewhere that using all 4 slots puts a big strain on the memory controller
