My first post!

$78, limit one, or $80 for more than one. I ordered, but bought a bunch of other stuff too so don't know exactly how much shipping is. Fairly reasonable though. They also have 45 GB 7200 RPM IBM Deskstar drives for $149.

Sorry, but you can't say it is Crucial memory, just that it uses Micron chips..

There is more to a dimm than the chips...

The site has this as the description:
256MB PC133 MICRON 7.5NS SDRAM LIMIT ONE 256PC133MC$78.00

Yes, actually I CAN say it is Crucial RAM. Doesn't mean I'd be right, but I can say it.

Besides, close enough, still a damn good price for CL=2 PC133

ghostsoldier,

seems to me like this is CL3 ram.. -75 Micron chips are CL3 and only -7E Micron chips are CL2.. the chips that are advertised are the -75

Not true, go to the Crucial site and look at the 256mb pc133 cl=2, it says it is 7.5ns.

all pc133 ram is 7.5ns.. and if u look at the crucial site, all chips ending with a 75 are CL3.. plus if you just click on the &quot;Full Specs of MT48LC16M8A2TG-75 chip - Micron Site (PDF) &quot; link on the verasoft page, you can clearly see that:
-8E marking refers to 10ns@CL=2 (PC100)
-75 marking refers to 7.5ns@CL=3 (PC133)
-7E markings refer to 7.5ns@CL=2(PC133)

It may be micron CHIPS, but that doesn't mean the ram is great. The chips are only half the battle, if the PCB is a piece of crap, it doesn't matter how good the chips are.

i just went to the site to check out this memory. i see it for $80 (plus shipping), but not $78. isn't the crucial 256 cl3 really a better deal ($88.xx and free shipping) especially if this ram is cl3 too....and probably even if it may be cl2?...taserT

Just in case Katana still doesn't get it, they are not looking at the ns, they are LOOKING AT THE END OF THE PART NUMBER!

<< The RAM is Micron, not just the chips, it has a Micron part number, think about it!{ >>

Think about this: Micron (bare memory chips) have a part number beginning with MT. Crucial memory modules have a part number beginning with CT. It's not that hard to figure out, it's right on Crucial's website. The only other problem with generic memory is warranty. Micron only warrants their own Crucial modules. Any other memory module with Micron memory on it is warranted by the reseller. They might say lifetime warranty, but that really means &quot;however long that company is in business&quot;.

Ok people, lemme clear something up.... Micron=Crucial, Crucial=Micron. They are made at the same plant in Meridian Idaho on the same exact assembly line, I work about 7 miles from the plant. There is no difference. &quot;Micron&quot; is sold to OEM's, &quot;Crucial&quot; is retail. This is the same RAM they have on their site for $88, only $80 from Verasoft.com

Get as technical as you want, the difference is marketing, the RAM is the best and a great price.

GhostSoldier: You are correct in that Crucial is the retail arm of Micron. When Micron sells to Compaq or Dell, or whoever, they sell the modules as Micron with an MT part number. Not a CT, or Crucial part number.

However, this memory may be assembled by another party with Micron DRAMs. The website you linked into gives all kinds of specs regarding DRAMs, but nothing specific regarding the modules themselves. An example of a Micron module is MT16LSDT1664AG. With the 1664 meaning 16x64 or 128 Megabytes. Crucial has similar markings for the modules. An example of a Crucial is CT16M72S4D10 with an additional Micron label of MT18LSDT1672AG. This is registered 128 Megabyte ECC (16x72) by the way. Comes up as 64 MB on an Abit BH6, but as 128 MB in a Dell Poweredge server.

This memory may in fact be Micron OEM.

Or, it could be assembled by Apacer, Smart, Lite On or a number of other small manufacturers in either California or the Pacific Rim who make the PCBs and solder the DRAMs onto the PCBs. The numbers they reference on the website are for DRAM chips, not the entire module.

I would e-mail or call them and see if they could give you a Micron part number for the module, not just the DRAMs. If they can't, then it's likely assembled by a third party.

When it comes to memory, I put Crucial at the top with Mushkin. Then Kingston, PNY, Viking, Micron OEM and Samsung OEM. I've never had any surprises from any of those brands. The reason I put Micron OEM a step below is that Micron will not honor the warranty on their OEM memory. I tried in vain a couple of times when memory was expensive. They refer you to either the computer manufacturer or the dealer you purchased it from. Crucial is a different story. They replace defective memory very easily. It's rare memory goes bad, unless it's a lower grade from a company other than I previously mentioned.

Congratulations for your first post. And I didn't intend to rain on it, just inform.

For me and other Californians,

It's going for $80 right now. $6.40 in tax (They're in Torrance, CA and 8% tax) and 10.89 for UPS ground.... Yikes! I sent my 17&quot; monitor for $10 a little closer.

Anyways, for me, that's $97.27. If I go through crucial's website I can get it for 90 plus some cents + tax (7.20). Well, I guess it's not such a hot deal for me at all.

Conclusion: this is not a hot deal for most of us.

You said they're made in the same plant, did you really go in to have a look?
Do you mean the chips and also the pcb are made in the same plant?

Burnedout really nailed it. Micron makes the chips. Crucial branded memory are produced completely by Micron. Micron resells millions of chips to other fabs that actually place the chips on the PCB. If you want to really test that out take some Crucial memory and bench it against the most inexpensive micron chips you can find on Pricewatch. You will see the difference.

In any case, this deal is a chance. If you want to take the risk go for it and let the forum know if you have success or not.
