A while back we took a look at some memory from Aeneon, from the Xtune series that is based on the Qimonda memory chips, the Xtune DDR3-1333 (Reviewed Here). Today we are going to take a look at Crucial Ballistix DDR3 PC3-12800 (DDR3-1600) and will see how the two compare. The Crucial Ballistix DDR3 line uses the Micron memory modules, and it will be very interesting to see how the two compare.

Let's get on with the testing...
