Mushkin ram $45 for 128mb and free shipping. The 222 stuff is $66. I have used their ram and it is good stuff. I have the 222 stuff so I got more of it. They called me a week after I got it to make sure everything was ok. No one else on the internet has ever given me that type of service.
 
Looks like its 64 MB Mushkin High Performance REV2 PC133 222 for $66 not 128MB and its *Backordered

EDIT: AGREE they DO have great service
 
unless this ram cooks you breakfast and does your homework, i don't think i can justify paying double for a 222 ram stick. sounds like someone bit hard on a marketing campaign.
 
Mushkin basic is really very basic stuff,
this basic 133 is PQI chips - cheapy china brand.
I bought budget 100 before, it's even unknown brand.
Mushkin basic is not a deal.
Mushkin high perf is good stuff but overpriced.
If you don't overclock, Crucial cas2 is the best deal at $91, or Kignston value, Viking value at $80.
 
Budget is really budget. I had trouble even getting it to run at 100Mhz on three separate sticks about a year ago. I'll still buy Mushkin when the price is right but stay away from the really low end stuff now.
 
Truly, I built three machines for work that incorporated 256 megs of the High Performance Rev.2 Mushkin pc133 ram + T-bird 800's and Asus A7V's.

I was not impressed with these sticks. Two of the ram modules wouldn't work, period. They RMA'd them and the replacements were their value ram (read: generic chips they slap together on a pcb). Needless to say I was peeved. After calling them back they claimed that it was their policy to only RMA an order ONCE so I was basically stuck with the lower performing ram modules as replacements for the Rev.2 ones.

Well, I told them to F*** off and threw those junky modules into a couple of secretaries' new machines and bought Crucial Cas2, which has had absolutely ZERO (0) problems, even when oc'd to 148mhz for fun 🙂 Since then I've built around 50 AMD T-bird and Duron machines and used Crucial for all of them, without a SINGLE problem.

Anyway, I've dealt with Mushkin prior to this as well, and had decent service, nothing special. In fact, they remind me of the mouse company Razer. They certainly seem knowledgeable about their niche market, but they truly seem like n00bies when it comes to retail sales and service. Anyone who's ever dealt with both companies for sales and product returns will know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.

I'd say at this point, for compatibility's sake, never go with anything other than the Crucial 256meg parts. I've not ONCE heard of any issues with them, except in extreme overclocking situations (where ram can't easily be determined to be the instability culprit, anyway), and at their current prices, why would you choose anything else?
 
I can't believe Mushkin replace generic for your bad rev2. Did they refund the price difference? So many people here are saying Mushkin has great customer service, are they lying?

Anyway, I've only bought once from Mushkin, and now Crucial is too good not to go with, I don't need to buy from Mushkin anymore.
 
I just bought a 128cas2 stick of micron(which I am told is crucial now). It works great in a overclocked duron system. Bought it at a show for $41!!
 
Who told you it's crucial?
It can't be Crucial if it doesn' have Crucial sticker,
and you can't get lifetime warranty from Crucial.

Can the seller prove the whole module is produced by Mircon?
 
I use Rev. 2 Mushkins whenever I build a system that might see some overclocking in the 140-150 FSB range. I had a 128MB stick of Rev. 1.5 Mushkin and it wouldn't work in an Intel D815EEA motherboard. Worked fine in my CUSL2 and CUSL2-C, so it may have been the Intel motherboard was picky. I plan to call Mushkin about this. Anyway, I put in a 256MB stick of Micron Cas-3 (with a Micron sticker on it 🙂) that I picked up locally for $85 and had no problem. Looks like I'm gonna be a "Crucial-convert" too.
