Introduction:

Micron is one of the only manufacturers in the US who actually produces their own PCB (printed circuit board), memory chips, and assembles the two into a working module. Most people know of Crucial not just because they are a division of Micron, but because they are a large manufacturer and seller of RAM and other related items. They produce high quality modules that are compatible, stable, and backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Many users purchase Crucial memory because of these qualities and the fact that it is inexpensive.

Today we take a look at Crucial PC3200 modules. Crucial does not support or advocate overclocking but despite what some might think, our particular modules overclocked very well. Besides the overclocking, the modules are fast, stable, and reliable.
