Latency results show an improvement, but one we do not think you would really notice.  While the PCMark08 results do not show a tangible difference.

The gaming results do yield a tangible result, but only just. However, Battlefield 4 is a very optimised game engine, so other applications, Photoshop for example, would see a Quad Channel improvement, we would think. Every increase in FPS is always a good thing however.

Conclusion

The Crucial Ballistix Sport LT White DDR4 memory kit is a handy little kit. Two 8Gb modules in white is just what the mITX system builder would want for their rig, 16Gb is a must these days and with two DIMM slots, there are some physical and logical limitations in what can be installed. Moreover, this is a white kit, with a white PCB, and we are big fans of white systems. RAM is a little harder to get in this colour, but Crucial have given a limited market another worthy option.

Overall this is a recommended kit, but why? Well, DDR4 prices are coming down, and two 8Gb DDR4 DIMMs for under £100 is certainly moving in the right direction. They are white, Crucial have just unlocked a lot of system designs with this kit, and it’s not just some white heat spreaders, the PCB is white. Finally the performance, the Crucial Ballistix Sport LT White DDR4 kit gives solid performance without any hiccups or troubles, and could manage a small overclock without causing a fuss. So, if you want white DDR4, and you have anything from a mITX to an X99 eATX motherboard, this will look good, perform well and will not break the bank.
