Crucial brand Memory

[HolyGrenade]

Do the crucial memory modules have 'Crucial' branded on each chip on the module or do they have a sticker or something on the module, while the chips are made by a different manufacturer?

Sometimes crucial will be marked as Micron or (MT) as crucial is micron, but yea usually it has a big crucial sticker on it though the PCB says Micron (I've had crucial memory before)

Crucial is my memory of choice since the days of PC133 and I currently have a pair of Crucial 256Mb PC2100 modules in my XP rig and PC133 modules in my P3.
Generally, Crucial modules are made of Micron chips as long as Micron can provide the chips. If Micron has a shortage of chips, Crucial may seek them elsewhere. That's why it is possible to see other chips than Micron's on a Crucial module, but Crucial always comes back to Micron chips once the chips are available again. Crucial never offered RDRAM for a reason. It is a division of Micron and Micron has always refused to embrace Rambus' technology. Crucial doesn't make chips, only modules.

Actually, the subsidiary is Micron Semiconductor Products, Inc. which does business as Crucial Technology.
