wait since when is Micron genaric. was it assambles by a genaric place using micron chips?

Well the samsung is put on the PCB by apacer. The micron i have is on a Generic pcb that i have no clue who made it.

I have always had good luck with Micron RAM, so I would say go with them. Do you know what the latency is on the chips though?

yeah.. micron only makes chips right? Not the PCB too? Hmm.. don't tell me that i have to change my rig profile now..

 

[MortaniuS]

All ddr is the same latency isnt it? but anyways. I mean if i had a choice between Apacer Samsung and Crucial Micron, i would choose the Crucial Micron for sure. But since the Micron i have is on a gerneic stick im leaning towards the Namebrand apacer stick. Just looking to see what you guys think

<< All ddr is the same latency isnt it?

No, there is cas2 and 2.5

 

[MortaniuS]

i belive they are both 2.5, but both run well at 2

Crucial is owned by Micron, so in that way they do make the whole thing

Does CTspd work on DDR?

Mustpost, Crucial memory has Micron chips on it but it also has the board designed and built by Crucial.
Generic memory may have Micron chips but the board may or may not be the same quality as the Crucial. And yes the board can make a large difference in the quality of the memory.

 

[MustPost]

thats what i was trying to say.
I didn't know what the thing the memory is installed on is called. DIMMs or is it something else?

i only trust infineon

 

[MortaniuS]

I hear ya on infineon, but i dont belive they have DDR out.
