Crucial is pretty much the golden standard of quality RAM.

I never had any problems with the chips I ordered from them over the years. Service is very effective and efficient.

I run Crucial in my R50p and zero issues with it at all.

Until recently I used crucial ram exclusively for upgrades/home built pc's (K6-2 350, AMD thunderbird 900, Athlon 1600+, Athlon 2000+, Athlon 2400+ and my R40). However, when I build my Athlon 2800+ system 2 years ago I used Corsair XMS 3200C2PT twinx modules since they were pre-tested on my Asus A7N8X deluxe motherboard. Currently my R40 contains a 512meg crucial stick paired with a 1 gig kingmax stick that recently replaced a second 512 meg crucial stick.

I've never had a problem with crucial (micron) ram. Highly recommend this memory. Also, the Corsair and the Kingmax have been very solid as well. Two years with the Corsair and no issues. A few weeks on the Kingmax 1 gig module, but I'm already wanting to get a second ($110 at www.newegg.com) . :)

With any of the above vendors I think you'll be fine.

I've upgraded a system with 2 sticks of Crucial 256MB PC100, upgraded a laptop with a stick of Crucial 256MB PC2100, and thrown an old 128MB PC133 stick of Micron (same as Crucial) in a box that I've had, without any problems.

Crucial seems to be pretty good. I didn't go with them for the TP's RAM upgrade, because they wanted $109 :shock:

Kahlon.com wanted $67, which I knew was still a ripoff, but I still went with them... It appeared to work, though... (can't be sure, though, because the laptop won't actually boot - it's not RAM related, though - I've already got an RMA number for the laptop, so I'll probably get it fixed tomorrow)
Current: 365XD (120 MHz, 72 MiB, 6.4 GB, 4x CD-ROM, 10.4" TFT)
Past: T61p 15.0" QXGA, T60p 15.0" QXGA, X61 Tablet SXGA+, R51e 14.1" XGA, X21
