That would be very interesting Irev210, I hope you really put that test together and have the time to post results! My kit is arriving tomorrow and I've got the whole day off (YEAH)! I ended up getting the vanilla PC2-8500 Ballistix from the EGG. I'll post IC's and initial results tomorrow afternoon/evning. By the way Irev where did you buy the GKX Ballistix from (or were they sent to you for testing purposes)?
