I suppose I am a relatively infrequent purchaser but I've never had any
fault with Crucial memory and neither has anybody else as far as I
know. I'm using it now in my NB520 laptop, probably 12 years old.
My current desktop computer is about 15 years old and had 4G of Corsair
memory until a year or two ago. That memory also performed perfectly
but I found I could buy 8G of second hand memory to max out the mobo
from a CEX shop for GBP8! My, how the price of DDR2 has gone down over
a decade!
So, in my limited experience I suppose I can recommend Crucial, Corsair
or tested second hand memory. Tested second hand I suppose it could be
termed extended burn in! If still working it will probably work for
ever.
