Micron vs Infineon

[Cardoe]

Which RAM does everyone think is better? I have an ABIT VP6.

MICRON 256MB DIMM SDRAM PC133 CL2 (7.5 ns)

or

INFINEON 256MB PC133 7NS CAS2 SDRAM

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Micron is a PROVEN overachiever! They are quality. Get the Micron.

Uh . . . Infineon is produced by Micron. Its basically the same RAM. Go w/ the 7ns stuff though. You'll get a higher overclock out of it.

is crucial micron? look in my profile... www.neweeg.com says them both in the same title so i figured it was

I agree with Oni...use the Infineon. I've always had good luck with both brands, but the 7ns rating will help with OC.

yes, crucial is micron made i think

 

[NoKtEm]

yes, crucial is micron made i think

yea, their logo is "CRUCIEL: a division of micron"

Actually Infineon makes their own chips and Crucial buys them when they can't make enough of their own.

I thought Infenion was a rebranded Siemens chip (at least that is was a sales guy once told me).

 

[BadThad]

Infineon IS Siemens.

so is it really crucial ram? the name i have grown up loving lol

Infineon is not Crucial. They make their own chips. They're a European company.

Seriously not. Micron is not affiliated with infineon in ANY way.

If you want to overclock, go with micron. Infineon are good quality, but very bad overclockers. That's a fact.

I'd have to agree with the statement that Infineon isn't good OCing RAM. I had 2 sticks of Crucial 512Mb RAm with Infineon chips on them that wouldn't go past 305Mhz, no matter how conservative I ran them. My other Crucial (256Mb sticks) with Micron chips will do 333+ Mhz at CAS2.5, 2.7v.
