Crucial using Infineon chips on 512MB DDR sticks

I ordered a stick of 512MB DDR from Crucial. When I opened it and looked at the chips, they said Infineon on them. Since when has Crucial started using Infineon?

I ordered some PC133 about 3 weeks ago and it was micron chips.

Here is the code on the chips: HYB25D256800AT-7. They appear to be 7ns, not the 7.5ns that Crucial says. Do you think that I will be able to overclock at a higher fsb b/c of the Infineon chips?

Thanks for the replies.

I can overclock to higher FSB using my 512MB Infineon DDR than a pair of Crucial/Micron 256MB sticks. The chance is that you will probably OC higher too.

The Infineon are faster chip than the Micron, 7 ns vs. 7.5 ns. And Infineon uses 0.17 micron waffer, compared to the Micron's 0.18.
 
may be Micron find that buying ram chips from Infineon is cheaper than manufacturering them, or they don't have good yield on 256Mbit ddr ram chips.
 
I just ordered a 512mb DDR Crucial stick and got it yesterday. I was expecting Infineon chips, but when I looked at it, it had the trademark MT on each little chip, so I'm pretty sure I got Micron chips on my 512mb dimm from Crucial! I don't know if that's any better or not then the Infineon's.

I haven't put it in my machine yet, so we'll see how she works 🙂
 
This was discussed recently. This is from the crucial FAQ



<< Why did I receive memory that wasn't made by Micron?


Description:

Why did I receive memory that wasn't made by Micron?

Solution:

Although Crucial Technology is a fully owned and operated division of Micron, we obtain memory from other suppliers on rare occasions. We only sell memory made by other manufacturers if Micron does not make a particular type of component or if Micron is out of stock of a particular part and will not have the product available in the near future.

All of the non-Micron memory we sell is fully tested and qualified before we make the product available to our customers. >>

I'm running one 512MB DIMM of Crucial PC2100 DDR at the moment. I can't remember what was written on the chips, and I ain't taking it out to look. All I know is that it works and I have yet to use more than 36% of my physical memory.
