Crucial RAM

[Kostya]

Sorry if this is a silly question, but being a novice to this, I needed to ask...

What exactly is Crucial RAM? Is it just RAM from the company Crucial, or is there something else to it? I just bought a whole bunch of Micron DDR RAM, but everywhere I read, I see people referencing Crucial RAM... So my question is, what is the difference between the two?

Crucial is a division of Micron.

Micron memory chips are sold to other memory manufactures who mount them to their PCBs and sell them on. Crucial are Microns own memory seller, they test all their chips thoroughly too. The PC-133 stuff is tested to 143Mhz, for example.
