What is Ballistix™?
The Ballistix line of high-performance memory modules features advanced speed grades, low latencies, and integrated aluminum heat spreaders. The Ballistix Tracer™ modules feature two rows of eight "chasing" red and green LEDs atop the module, indicating memory activity by circulating at varying speeds. The Ballistix line is specifically built for performance enthusiasts who want to push the performance envelope without worrying about data loss or corruption, mysterious intermittent errors and display problems, or worse-the dreaded BSOD!
Our Ballistix line of high-performance memory comes in 184-pin DIMMs (DDR1) and 240-pin DIMMs (DDR2). (Ballistix Tracer memory currently comes only in 184-pin DIMMS.)
What is a Ballistix 184-pin DIMM?
A dual inline memory module (DIMM) consists of a number of memory components (usually black) that are attached to a printed circuit board (usually green). The gold pins on the bottom of the DIMM provide a connection between the module and a socket on a larger printed circuit board. The pins on the front and back of a DIMM are not connected to each other.
Ballistix 184-pin DIMMs are used to provide DDR SDRAM memory for desktop computers. Ballistix 184-pin DIMMs are available in PC3200 DDR (DDR400) SDRAM or PC4000 DDR (DDR500) SDRAM. Ballistix Tracer 184-pin DIMMs are available in PC4000 DDR (DDR500) SDRAM. To use DDR memory, your system motherboard must have 184-pin DIMM slots and a DDR-enabled chipset. A DDR SDRAM DIMM will not fit into a standard SDRAM DIMM socket.
The number of black components on a Ballistix 184-pin DIMM can vary, but it always has 92 pins on the front and 92 pins on the back, for a total of 184. Ballistix 184-pin DIMMs are approximately 5.25 inches long and 1.25 inches high, though the heights can vary. While 184-pin DIMMs and 168-pin DIMMs are approximately the same size, 184-pin DIMMs have only one notch within the row of pins.

What is a Ballistix 240-pin DIMM?
A dual inline memory module (DIMM) consists of a number of memory components (usually black) that are attached to a printed circuit board (usually green). The gold pins on the bottom of the DIMM provide a connection between the module and a socket on a larger printed circuit board. The pins on the front and back of a DIMM are not connected to each other.
Ballistix 240-pin DIMMs are used to provide DDR2 SDRAM memory for desktop computers. Ballistix 240-pin DIMMs are available in DDR2 PC2-4200 (DDR2 533) SDRAM or DDR2 PC2-5300 (DDR2 667). To use DDR2 memory, your system motherboard must have 240-pin DIMM slots and a DDR2-enabled chipset. A DDR2 SDRAM DIMM will not fit into a standard SDRAM DIMM socket or a DDR DIMM socket.
The number of black components on a Ballistix 240-pin DIMM can vary, but it always has 120 pins on the front and 120 pins on the back. Ballistix 240-pin DIMMs are approximately 5.25 inches long and 1.18 inches high, though the heights can vary. While 240-pin DDR2 DIMMs, 184-pin DDR DIMMs, and 168-pin DIMMs are approximately the same size, 240-pin DIMMs and 184-pin DIMMs have only one notch within the row of pins. The notch in a 240-pin DDR2 DIMM is closer toward the center of the module.
