    they are the best 4GB kit on the market


    Do they suck compared to older D9 stuff? I guess

    But everyone wants 4GB


    we went through this with D9DQT

    Everyone said 130nm D9DQT was god

    Then the newer 90nm D9GMH came out and became god


    Now, it is 78nm's turn to play god, heh

    On Crucials EU-Site it is listed for 124,-EUR and I guess for the US it'll be about 160,-USD.

    The main problem might be the following: PSC based modules manage 4-4-4-12 DDR2-800 no problem at ~2V most of the time and even overclock to about 450MHz at these setting with upto 2.2V. Setting timings to 5-5-5-15, they are able to reach as high as 550Mhz+.

    Now these Crucials better be real great overclockers, or the cheaper PSC based modules will still keep the lead.
    I'm awaiting the results with excitement, though.
    They sure do look damn nice, as a start.

    What blows me away is the low voltage capability


    Currently testing at 1050 @ 1.8V and it is stable -- if I can hit 1100MHz @ 1.8V, i will be a happy person.

    It IS Micron chips under the spreaders, Crucial RAM will never EVER be anything else

    Part one of the review is up in the review section. A mod can close this if considered appropriate. Iv finished waving my e-peen around

    That is NOT so. Crucial is a subsidary of Micron and is a business in it's own right. Crucial uses Elpida and other IC's for their Rendition series so I would like to see the Micron stamp on these Crucial IC's to see if they are in fact, Micron. Since Micron is not showing any 4GB kits in their samplings, I would have to see the markings.
