the Ballistix i have are definitely decent. not as good as the Corsair Dominators but certainly a solid kit. plus, they don't have a higher binned kit so the chances of getting a really good kit are better than say Corsair or OCZ PC2-12800 kits because they have higher bins. if you can get them for a better price by a decent chunk than Dominators, i would have no problem recommending them. i am trying to find time to get them onto the Maximus Extreme for an update to the OC Report.

for Canadians looking for DDR3, NCIX.com has Patriot Viper Extreme 2GB kits for just over $300. yes, Patriot does offer a higher bin so these won't be amazing sticks in all likely-hood, and no, i haven't seen any results from them, but they should still be pretty solid for only 3 bills...everything 800MHz 7-7-7 has to be D9GTR, doesn't it?

i am trying to get my hands on a set for an OC Report, will let you all know if i manage to pull it off. solid DDR3 is almost 'decent' already
