micron using samsung memory chip

[toant103]

I got on that deal, 512MB ddr pc2700 from crcual. Well, i got mine today, the memory chip is from Samsung. What's up with that? Why don't they use their own memery chip ?

I ordered 512mb pc2100, hopefully it is true "MT" micron chips.

Crucial occasionally uses memory chips from other manufacturers if they are unable to get the chips from Micron. Sometimes due to a shortage at Micron, usually due to other manufacturers having newer chips (size/speed) out before Micron and crucial not wanting to lose out on business.

Why would that be a problem? Samsung is some of the best RAM out there if I recall correctly. If I got a DIMM from Crucial that had Samsung chips, I wouldn't exactly be upset. 🙂
