Memory manufacturer Crucial is celebrating its 10th anniversary afterbeing founded in 1996 as a direct memory reseller for its parentcompany, Micron Technology. That same year id Software unleashed thefirst version of Quake, which began the 3d revolution in the PC. ThePentium processor hit 200MHz that same year, Google opened doors, andLinux 2.0 was released. The Nintendo 64 also saw the light in 1996 andthe first Pokemon video game was released, what a crazy year.

Today we will be taking a look at their 10th anniversary edition DDR2-667 memory modules.Designed with the enthusiast in mind, this special edition memory comesin either 1GB or 2GB kits, with specifications that mirror those fromthe Ballistix line. In the review we compare against some Value Selectmemory from Corsair, and present you with the various scenarios whereone product is a better buy than the other.

Google didn't open doors in 1996, it was 1998.

I was planning on buying a 1 GB stick for my MacBook from Buy.com for $125. The next week the price jumped to $189!
