OT: Crucial memory??

Do folks have good experience of the company and the product? This IBM R32
only has 256MB and they are offering 1024MB for £46 which seems cheap and
should stop all this annoying disc caching.

I've ordered from them in the past. Very quick delivery and the products
worked without issue.

one by mistake etc.

I've used them with no issues at all.

Cheers all. I just used their ActiveX product configuration and it
identified my laptop correctly so I should get the right chips.

Hmm, I need new front & rear badges for the Corvette. Think I'll give

Remember they'll be small. Possibly as small as bees knees.

Yup, and the lifetime warranty works too. Had a 512Mb stick in a laptop for
3 years, died one day, phoned them up, new one on my doorstep the following
morning.

I've ordered stuff for work from them before - never had a problem with
delivery or service.

A bit like asking whether or not Rolex make good watches. Crucial memory is
excellent - they set the standard by which memory quality is measured and
their service is brilliant.

Yep, I had similar experiences with them, although I had misplaced the
receipt so they asked me to send in the old sticks. Replaced without a
quibble within three days or so.

I usually buy their memory because it just works, the only reason the
machine I'm typing this on has some overclocker-type memory in it
is because I got a very good deal on it.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

saying something like:

I've been using Crucial (Micron, afaik) for the past few memory
purchases and have no complaints at all. Much better to use them and be
sure than save a couple of quid on uncertain stuff.
Kingston are another brand that have been good for me - perhaps they use
Micron too.

How to be happy, part #1

Take 1 IBM Thinkpad R32 XP Pro
Remove OEM 256MB DIMM
Insert 2 x 512MB Crucial DIMM
Cycle BIOS
Start OS
