Crucial released a new series of Ballistix memories – called Tracer – sporting two rows of eight "chasing" red and green LEDs that indicate activity by circulating at varying speeds. According to the company, a custom-designed chip in the PCB relays bus information to the LEDs, allowing them to accurately reflect usage of each memory module. In addition, eight blue undercarriage LEDs emit a constant glow near the pins. Ballistix Tracer DDR500/PC4000 are currently available in 512 MB and 1 GB modules with 2.5-4-4-8 latencies.
