Best place to buy Crucial?

[JoT]

I've looked around the net, and very few places even stock crucial; anyone have some suggestions on where to go?

I'd try http://www.crucial.com

Their prices often beat out newegg! Definitely a good place to look. Otherwise, I recommend looking at mwave.com (http://direct.mwave.com/mwave/DeptMR-MIRCON.hmx?UID=&CID=&Back=). BTW, sometimes you'll see corsair listed as Micron. This is because Micron is the chip manufacturer, and corsair is the sales arm of that company.

also do a search for the 15% off crucial memory as well as $$$ off coupons

sdram pc133 256meg cas2 = $45 shipped!!
DDR pc2100 256 meg cas2.5=$60 shipped

[JoT]

does micron (crucial, whatever lol) not make DDR RAM faster than 2100?

[Trainwreck]

sure 256meg DDR pc 2700 cl 2.5 = $76
128meg DDR pc 2700 cl 2.5 = $41

CRUCIAL (http://www.crucial.com/store/listmfgr.asp?cat=RAM)

Corsair is in no way affiliated with Micron. Crucial is the sales arm of Micron. Corsair sells real ram, meaning it rarely uses Micron chips. While Corsair stuff has used Micron there are typically chips on the market at any point in time that stand more clock than Micron, so stuff like Samsung is more common on Corsair ram. I don't think any PC2700 or better Corsair has used Micron.
