The RAM - System Memory

Crucial Memory hits the "sweet spot" in terms of quality and price. The quality is outstanding yet the price is low since it's factory direct and such a widely used brand. And shipping is free!

I'm using four Crucial Ballistix (high speed) memory modules, namely four 1024MB (1GB) Crucial Ballistix PC8500 DDR2 memory modules, for a total of 4096MB (4GB of physical memory). They arrived well-protected inside the box, each sealed inside its own antistatic bag. The pictures below show one of the memory modules.
