Crucial PC2100 DDR or Corsair PC2100 DDR?

Do any of you have a preference and why? Are there any benefits to one or the other?

I'm getting ready to upgrade to an MSI K7T Pro2 (266A), Athlon 1600+ XP and DDR memory and I value this group's opinions.

Thanks for the help...

I've always had Crucial. Right now, with the price increase, I would pick the cheapest.

crucial has some compatibility problems, but i don't think it's anything to do with this particular board...

Hey Hobbes!

Oh! and I'm currently using both Crucial and Corsair 256 meg pc2100 sticks. Corsair is evidently more fool-proof, but I didn't have any great success o'clocking it or even getting it to run at Cas 2 on my A7M266 Athlon 1.2 gig system. The root may be the A7M266 board, which I've never managed to get 100% stable -- despite other people's great reports to the contrary.

Building a new KR7A-Raid system with XP 1800 and 512 megs ECC memory. Decided to go with Corsair again. Watch-out though, the prices is shooting up! ;.)
