Ram question

[JackOfHearts]

Does anybody know where I can get 512 MB DIMM's of PC 133 Ram with CL of 2???

I have looked around and All I can find is CL3....

 

[JackOfHearts]

Also which is better crucial or micron ram??? or does it matter?

Crucial and Micron are one and the same.

I cruised around to a bunch of RAM manufacturers sites and you are right, no CL2 512M sticks so I assume they don't exist yet.

you would be safe to go with crucial or micron.. they really aren't the "same" exaact one.. but crucial is a divison..

go crucial!

Thanks for the help people I am going to by 2x256MB of CL 2 of crucial... They have a 15% of sale right now anyways

Too bad they just jumped their price to 62.99, is was 58.99 2 days ago, sweet price though!

Beware, Crucial isn't what it used to be. A few of us have noticed that when we added a 256MB modules you get the BSoD. You'll have to lower your cycle time from their previous ram.

I have been using crucial for along time, never any problems, 2 x 256 3 months ago runs fine...

Now i would recommend muskin rev 3 only if they had 256 sticks, but i have read articles crucial beat everyone!

No problems at all with my 256MB stick of CL-2 Crucial. it runs flawless. I'd buy it again in a second.. I think it's the best deal for a good stick of memory!

It's still the best, just less perfect.
