how good is this stuff compared to micron, infereron, crucial ?

You ever seen a Yugo .. yeah, now picture it next to an Accord .. .. that's about right.

Are you commenting on their looks? Or are you saying the Valueram is not reliable even running at its labeled speed - 133MHz?

The Kingston ram really isn't that bad at all... usually come with Infineon or Toshiba chips. I've never had a problem with them, except when it came to rebates. Always run at least as promised. When you can pick them up at a good price, they beat the hell out generic ram, particularly because they come with a lifetime warranty from a company that should be around for some time!

That said, the Micron is usually better if you are interested in overclocking or really must have good Micron chips (they are Micron, after all!). Same price, I would take the Crucial. At a better price, I would not hesitate on the Kingston.

My kingston valueram pc100 is able to run past cas2 pc140... i dunno about the pc133 chips and which ones they use but the valueram series are actually pretty high quality despite its name. to the guy who asked about micron, infineon, and crucial.... crucial is basically micron as they use micron chips for their ram. Infineon is a chip that is used in many ram manufacturers... u see alot of the valueram pc100's using infineon chips which are pretty high quality. the yugo to the accord isnt a good comparison.

I agree, Kingston is a much better buy than true generic crap. I've never had a problem with my ValueRAM.

Obviously, something like Crucial would be better, but Kingston is a good value.

I bought some of this at Buy.com a while back. It runs reliably at 133....never have oc'ed it. The pC100 on the other hand was Infineon, and it oc's like mad. I got both rebates within 6 weeks, go figure.

If it comes with Winbond chip, then I suggest you to RMA it right away. My 128MB PC 133 ValueRam with Winbond chip causes my system to crash often until finally it refuses to POST at all.
It it comes with Hyundai chip, then most likely you won't be able to overclock it. So far, only the ones come with infeneon are the best ones.
