Lexar Media, Inc., a subsidiary of Micron Technology, Inc., has launched its first Crucial Ballistix® double data rate (DDR)3 memory modules, providing increased memory performance for the ardent PC gamer and computing enthusiast. As the successor to DDR2, the DDR3 design provides higher speeds, reduced power consumption and increased densities. DDR3 enables users to experience more life-like images on screen, allows multiple applications to run simultaneously, and provides for greater overall system performance.

Additionally, the new Ballistix modules feature a Micron company logo on the heat spreader, calling attention to the exclusive use of Micron components in the Ballistix DDR3 product line.

Crucial Ballistix DDR3 memory modules feature Micron's highly sought-after DDR3 components, running at speeds of 1600 megahertz (MHz). Micron's DDR3 chips are manufactured on its industry-leading 78-nanometer process technology. Crucial Ballistix 1600 MHz high-performance memory modules are available in 1GB modules and 2GB kits.
