Does anyone know a easy way to cross reference Micron memory with Crucial Memory by part number??
thanks

 

[WDK]

Hehe. Wow, this Crucial ram actually lets me run at 133 CL2 =P My old crap 133 RAM wouldn't even do 133 on this computer. Awesome deal.

Sweet...I got mine today. It comes in a package that looks like there's only one inside, but it's a sticker put there with your name and address. Nice packaging.

Only took 2 days via FedEx.

 

[mchang]

Yep, it's dropped shipped from Crucial.
From crucial's address, that matches the "from" part on the FedEx shipping label. Combined with "Bill Third Party", blammo, it's Crucial.

Haven't opened the little box yet, but that's ala Crucial too.

Hot deal!

I just got mine yesterday.

Any idea that this is crucial or micron?

and how do u get cl2 out of cl3 with this?

 

[cremefilled]

DDCSpeed, you set you CAS level in your BIOS. You will need to read your motherboard manual to see what the specific setting is called, but it might be something called "Memory Latency." It should have a default setting of 3. Really advanced motherboards, like some of the Abits, will allow you to adjust all sorts of memory timings besides this, but those don't usually show the same performance increases.

Low-end motherboards don't allow you to adjust the latency at all, so you might be out of luck.

 

[Kingofcomputer]

DDCspeed,
all Micron made memory modules have MT sticker,
those sold by Crucial added CT sticker.

with CT sticker, you get lifetime warranty from Crucial.
without CT sticker, you get no warranty from Micron.
like this one from Dell, you've to deal with Dell for warranty issue.

something like this only come once in a life time

went to my online bank statement and here's what it shows:
11/29/2001 Check Card Withdrawal CkCd DELL CATALOG SA 800-624-98 TX 63.84

63.84 ah for 4 dimms and is crucial memory too, sweeter then last deal of 21.21 each if I remember right. Should have ordered 8 instead, sell on ebay and make good $$$
