Crucial is consistantly good ram. I have used it in my PC's for years and have never had a problem. Many OEM's use crucial ram under the name Micron. Crucial is actually a division of Micron so they are one in the same. The Dell E510 I just got came stocked with Micron ram.

General "high end" RAM is Kingston and Corsiar... "high mid-range" are: G.Skill, Geil, Crucial, Mushkin, and Patriot.
I have more RAM knowledge for PCs, so... are they Mac compatable... who knows I've seen one review say this RAM works perfect with so and so Apple computer followed by a review saying that it didn't work on the same exact machine. I mean, would a Mac really need different RAM than a PC?

The good thing about crucial though is that they will guarantee the match for your system. They also offer a lifetime warranty, however, every stick I have bought from there in the last 7 years has never needed changing.

At one time, haven't checked in a long time, i could get pc3200 Corsair Value Select for about $85 per gig, have NEVER seen Crucial at that price, though not saying it never has been. Buy your ram from a known dealer, they are the ones who will make good on problems usually, that is why i always buy from New Egg, they give good service, great prices and stand behind the product.Mac Pro Intel 2.66 - Quad Core - 16 Gigs Ram - 10.11.6 - 30" Apple Monitor
