Thanks
 
It depends on the quality of Mushkin you get (read high price).

The Rev 3 Mushkin is the best but its also 2-3X more expensive than the crucial stuff.

For 99% of us Crucial is more than enough but for those that need to squeeze those extra MHz Mushkin Rev3 is the way to go.
 
Crucial = BMW of RAM
Mushkin = Bentley of RAM

Bentley's are king of luxury automobiles. Beemers aren't quite as nice but they still run better than 90% of the cars out there.

Personally I'd go with the crucial, mushkin is ridiculously over priced.
 
Mushkin used to be the best when they were the only onces hitting 150... but now any good quality RAM like Crucial will easily hit 150 CL2, so now Mushkin is just overpriced RAM.
 
I purposely overclocked 7 sticks of 256 MB PC100 SDRAM. Ran them at PC133. Was screwing around with my Abit BH6 running a PIII 866@133 FSB, so I thought I'd stress the memory too.

The sticks were:

Toshiba... Toshiba DRAMs and PCB. Made for IBM.
Hyundai... Hyundai DRAMs and PCB. Made for IBM.
Micron OEM
Crucial
Kingston Value RAM with Samsung DRAMs
PNY with Micron DRAMs
Mushkin 2-2-2 with NEC DRAMs

Wanna know the only one that failed?

Mushkin.

You can talk all you want about Mushkin's overclockability, nobody can dispute that, but when it comes to quality, Crucial is unbeatable. The bad thing about Crucial is that they dont make any RAM aimed at the tweakers, but most of their RAMs are plenty overclockable.
 
well, I finally bought some quality ram from Crucial and <rant> even though I was taxed with 60% import taxes plus US$30 bucks for DHL shipping to Brazil, I got to admit I'm very pleased with it. The cheapest I could find here was US$150, so I still paid less than that.</rant>

But back to the point. I was doing some tests and I was able to run my crucial @ 150mhz cas2 turbo mode, 4 way interleave . So I'm quite happy with it, of course. I don't even want to imagine how much I would've paid for a mushkin that does pretty much the same...
