Crucial ram is made by Micron but is Micron brand ram as good as the Crucial?

Not sure exactly what your asking. Are you asking if Crucial brand is the same as a 3rd party memory seller advertising using Micron chips on their sticks is the same? If so then the answer would be while the ram chips might be the same the PCB may not. With Crucial you?re sure to be getting top notch chips mounted on a quality PCB but with a generic you might get the same ram chips mounted on a cheaper PCB with less quality control. If I were you I?d spend a little more and get the Crucial.

No it is a micron stick of ram, straight from micron not 3rd party

140 Front Bus Side? (FBS?)

I think he means Front Side Bus :Q

As I understand it, micron doesn't make "micron" ram, the only ram that you can get striaght from micron is crucial (they are micron's consumer division) I am pretty sure that you are getting ram from a thrid party, not "straight from micron".

...I think 😕

I have never heard of micron selling completed sticks of ram under their name. Sorry
