Crucial Ballistix Tactical DDR3 vs Ballistic Sport DDR3

[Dansaj]

My ballistix sport 8GB DDR3 has gone faulty and Crucial would like to offer me the Ballistix Tactical 8GB DDR3 to replace with.
Which is better and what is the difference ?
My rig is in the bio, also it should be compatiable right ?

If anything the tactical is slightly faster

Wouldn't have an issue accepting it at all personally.

So going with the tactical will be alright you say ?
I may just go with that then

 

[madmatt30]

Tactical will be fine

All crucial ram is good anyway .
They make their own nand flash (micron) , crucial is just their own branding for their own product line - micron flash is also used by other ram suppliers , patriot , adata, giel etc.
