Crucial's Ballistix BL6464Z505 is the lower latency 512MB module in this range.
It runs slightly faster than the other 512MB DIMM but unfortunately does not have a 1GB big brother like the CL3 version.
However it is still an impressive memory in its own right and four of these in any gaming PC is more than enough to keep most happy.
Also released at this exact specification is a Ballistix Tracer module and unsurprisingly they benchmark identically.
