Product Description
Bad memory can cause anything from annoying error messages to complete system failures. Why risk it with cheap "mystery" memory? When you buy memory from Crucial, you're buying the same high-quality memory that leading computer manufacturers install in the systems they sell. In fact, because Crucial is a division of Micron, one of the world's largest DRAM manufacturers, chances are good that you have their memory in your system right now. While the "other guys" might claim to manufacture memory, they really just assemble modules out of chips made by someone else. Some don't have first-class assembly procedures, and some even use chips that failed to meet computer manufacturer's stringent testing requirements. Crucial memory goes through much more rigorous testing procedures than many other brands of memory. Some memory assemblers choose to accept a certain "defect rate" because it's cheaper to deal with returns than to test every part they sell. That may help their bottom line, but it's sure a pain in the neck if you're one of the customers who ends up with a bad module. That's why Crucial thoroughly tests EVERY module they sell and put their name only on the ones that meet their strict standards. You might expect memory this good to cost a lot more, but you'd be wrong. As an online memory upgrade provider selling directly from the manufacturer, Crucial memory is often available at lower prices than lower-quality modules.

Price/Performance Bargain! February 20, 2008
Kort Kramer (South Florida, USA)
4GB can really make a difference and I am now a believer.
I recently got a new Apple iMac Desktop with 24" Display MA878LL/A (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) and ugraded from 1GB to 4GB. (2 of these memory chips)

All iMac Core 2 Duo systems have two user accessible slots and may be updated with one memory module at a time. For the maximum performance benefit possible, two modules of the same size can be installed to enable 128MBit memory addressing. This makes the best use of the new duo Intel chips and really speeds things up, esp. when using more than one application. I see a difference esp. when using memory intesive programs like Photoshop or Bryce, and my system is more stable as well.

It is a bit early to comment on longevity, but so far, so good!

Outstanding Memory, Fantastic Price December 27, 2007
Erik S. Johnson (Yamhill County, OR)

This was an outstanding purchase for a great price. I added this module to my new 24" iMac, and the installation took only a couple of minutes (and removal and reinsertion of a single Philips head screw). Very fast delivery, quality packaging, excellent installation instructions, and I saved $300-$400 off of what Apple would have charged me for the same price. I went with this Crucial brand over others (Kingston, et al), as this memory is manufactured by Micron in Boise, Idaho (super reputation for quality -- I've actually been to the fab floor where the memory is manufactured). I buy USA as much as possible.

This was an absolutely perfect transaction, and now I have a very peppy iMac!
