Well, I'll say it just like I've said in my many recent memory reviews, installing this memory kit is just like installing any other memory kit. The only real thing you need to be aware of is installing them in the correct slots for dual channel mode. You can do that by simply consulting your motherboard manual, or even the manufacturers website.

   In my particular situation, I'll be using the ASUS P5B Deluxe. I could put the two Ballistix tracer modules in the yellow slots or in the black slots for correct dual channel operation. You could also mix and match two 2x1GB kits, but honestly, I like to stick with identical brands and sizes.

   When installing a completely new memory kit in a current PC, I also find it helpful to reset your CMOS before booting up for the first time with a completely different memory kit. Especially if you were currently in some strange overclocking mode when you last shut down. It will just might make your life easier, trust me. Some boards don't care and will boot no matter what while some boards won't even boot without resetting CMOS.

   Once installed, It powered up without an issue and I hit the BIOS of the ASUS P5B Deluxe. I set the memory to 2.25v (there's no 2.2v in BIOS, but 2.25v in BIOS shows 2.2v in ASUS` AiSuite Software) and also the timings to 4-4-4-12 as stated by Crucial. I then saved changes and rebooted. The PC booted right up and went to desktop. No problems what-so-ever. However there was one side effect.... *look below*!$@#!@
