We had a big IBM box. I think it was an H90 or something. Anyway, we wanted more RAM, and Big Blue quoted some tremendous amount of money for it. We quoted Crucial and they gave us the big hoo-ha about how that RAM had not been tested, how it'd cause the machine to catch fire and kill all our children, even the unborn ones, and how it would also void the warranty.
We told them to go suck a fruit and bought Crucial RAM. Cracked the server to install it, and what did we find?
Crucial RAM.
( specifically, both the sticks we ordered, and the sticks in the server, were Micron ECC RAM. Crucial is the direct-mail / consumer branch of Micron).
