I would select the Micron memory (Micron's memory branch is called Crucial).

Go with the Crucial/Micron. Both are excellent brands, but the Crucial is a bit cheaper in price I think. Micron makes the actual memory chips, and Crucial is a division of Micron that assembles the memory modules using their own Micron chips. Corsair just assembles memory modules, and they use memory chips from a variety of memory fabricators such as Samsung, Infineon, etc., and Corsair has even used Micron chips at times too.

I know you said to choose between Corsair & Micron, but have you looked at Mushkin? Their sticks are as good as it gets, IMHO. And you can't beat their customer service. If you don't like it, they will make it right.

I would go for Mushkin 150MHZ SDRAM, its rated at 2,3,2 but would not break a sweat at 133 2,2,2 and give you a great deal of breathing room, i find a system runs very sweet at 142Mhz FSB with a setting of 2,2,2. This memory could easily do it.
