Hmmm, Crucial is the only one that is a memory manufacturer here
and uses Micron's own chips... The other brands all buy chips from others.
Although one thing funny is that even on the Dell machines, the OEM Micron
256MB chips work fine in the Inspiron 8000 for 512MB RAM but the ones from
Crucial don't work.

Hehe. I put in two Crucial 256MB 133Mhz PC133 modules in there.
It's not Micron's own chips but rather chips that are big squares, 2 on
each side and says Helix on them.
