I am running Micron now, works good but...

Which is better, Micron PC133 or Corsair Value PC133.... I know Corsair makes some high end stuff but the prices on these models are close.

Thanks, later.

If you're talking 100% Micron (Crucial brand) then I'd stay with that over Corsair Value. If you have generic memory with Micron chips then go with the Corsair. Crucial (Micron) and Corsair make good memory but Crucial pricing is usually better than the high-end Corsair stuff. I haven't heard of any incompatibilities with Crucial but have had with Corsair.

I like Crucial personally as it has never given me any problems, their support is good and it's warrantied for life. I do recognize that it won't overclock as high as some but then I don't run a 150MHz FSB...just 133.

If the prices are close, I'd buy the Corsair. Both have the reputation for being high quality, corsair more so, but Micron memory hasn't been sold under the Micron name for awhile now. Micron is now Crucial memory, and if you're seeing memory advertised as Micron, methinks it could possibly be older. All memory is pretty cheap these days though, if I were buying memory I'd either Crucial.com or whatever was cheapest and guaranteed to run Cas latency 2.

if you see memory as micron its more likely micron chips on generic pcb. Crucial ram is all micron
