Introduction:
First a little about the
company. Most of us know Crucial, but their official corporate name is
Micron Technology, Inc. This next blurb is
from their website:
“The Crucial story starts with Micron Technology, Inc.,
one of the largest dynamic random access memory (DRAM) manufacturers in the
world and the only one based in the U.S. Headquartered in Boise, Idaho, Micron
manufactures DRAM chips and assembles them into high-quality memory modules for
sale to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") worldwide. Over the past 26
years, Micron has learned that when you make some of the very best memory in the
world, lots of companies want it, from computer makers to wireless device
manufacturers to printer producers. (And we're really glad that they do!) But
then Micron asked, well, what about the end user? What about the everyday folks
who want to upgrade their existing systems with OEM-quality memory—the home
desktop user, the IT network guy, the student notebook user? Why don't we offer
our memory to the public, at factory-direct pricing? So in 1996, Micron
responded to a growing demand for high-quality memory upgrades among end users
who wanted the best possible performance from their systems. Micron launched
Crucial Technology in November of that year, and for the first time, end users
had the opportunity to buy directly from the manufacturer the same memory
modules bought by the world's major OEMs for original installation in their
systems. Having a direct sales division focused on selling Micron's DRAM to the
public was apparently an idea whose time had come, and eight successful years
later, we have expanded our product line to include graphics cards, flash cards
and readers, and USB flash drives. Why is Crucial thriving? We offer our
customers a number of clear advantages over our competitors...” ~

I've reviewed countless Crucial products in the past. Hard to believe it, but
the first one was way back in 2001 and it was on the PC-2100 memory. Crucial has
come a long way since then. As a matter of fact, the whole computer industry has
excelled in the past few years. Memory speeds have to keep up with the current
system advancements, so memory has become faster and faster. There is a big
difference between PC-2100 DDR memory from yesteryear and today's PC2-5300 ECC DDR2
memory.
Do you think you have enough memory for today's computing needs? Go ahead and
admit it, you probably don't.
Fact is, the
demands that are put on current memory are great. With video/photo editing
packages and games requiring more and more memory, 1GB of memory is hardly
enough anymore. Games like F.E.A.R. and Battlefield 2 require a minimum of 2GBs
to play at high resolution. Upcoming games being released in 2006/2007 will
further benefit from having 2GB of memory installed. Let's not forget
Windows Vista Operating
System (OS) which will be released in 2007. This OS will push many of today's
systems to the limit.
Enough already, let's get
on with the review.
