Micron good?

[Guest]

Is Micron RAM good quality? Its inexpensive now and I don't think I will be O/C'ing.

What about Kingston?

(Didn't Micron invent EDO?)

Thanks.

Crucial is the Factory Outlet for Micron.

If you want good RAM, get Crucial RAM. It has Micron chips. However, there is RAM out there with ONLY Micron chips and bad PCBs - so don't get fooled.

very true, pure Micron is in my experience always called Crucial.

Assemblers will often claim "pure micron memory", but that's usually untrue, they hook it up to their own controllers etc. Not as good as original.

So Micron as such is great, arguably the best, but make sure that's all you're getting

Kingston's good stuff too, and one thing about Kingston: a bottom-feeder vendor can't lie about it. Kingston makes modules, not chips, so you won't find lookalikes there.

Several people "invented" EDO, just like several people developed DDR. Rambus sucks because they invented RDRAM and wanted to charge outrageous royalties for memory makers to reproduce it- hence the birth of DDR. Now, Rambus will die (unless it gives up on litigation and royalties) and DDR will live. =) Industry standard ALWAYS wins.

Anyways, Crucial/Micron is awesome. They were a big developer of DDR SDRAM.
