Crucial's Ballistix Tracer BL6464L505 is the smallest size available in this range at just 512MB. It is provided with the black heatsinks and the activity sensing LED's that have made this memory such a success. It is a special memory and with timings of CL 2.5 (2.5-4-4-8) requires a special motherboard to take full advantage. Thankfully if you are lacking one of these this memory will down clock and run at PC3200 speeds giving you all of the looks if not all of the power.
