Crucial Technology™
In 1996, Micron responded to a growing demand for high-quality memory upgrades among end users who wanted the best possible performance from their systems. Micron launched Crucial Technology™ in November of that year, and for the first time, end users had the opportunity to buy directly from the manufacturer the same memory modules used by the world's major computer OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) for original installation in the systems they sell.
Having a direct e-commerce sales division focused on selling Micron's DRAM to the public seems to have been an idea whose time had come, and a decade later, Crucial has grown to be a leading online seller of flash cards and readers, USB flash drives, and graphics cards.
Exceptional quality
As the only consumer memory upgrade supplier that's part of a major DRAM and flash manufacturer, Crucial sells high-quality memory that has been qualified and approved by major computer OEMs and electronic device manufacturers. Unlike other memory sellers, Crucial tests 100 percent of the DRAM modules they sell. That's important to customers who need quality-assured memory for mission-critical applications.
Large selection and guaranteed compatibility
Crucial carries over 110,000 upgrades for more than 20,000 desktops, notebooks, servers, printers, routers, and electronic devices. As The Memory Experts(sm), Crucial has designed award-winning tools to help novice users maximize their computer memory with a minimum of effort. The award-winning Memory Advisor™ tool helps users find guaranteed-compatible memory in just three steps by entering the computer manufacturer and model. For users who do not know their system information, in just one click the revolutionary System Scanner tool analyzes a system in seconds and automatically recommends the right RAM.
And because Crucial works closely with chipset, motherboard, computer, and device manufacturers to ensure that their parts work in the systems consumers are buying, Crucial guarantees that the recommended upgrades will be compatible, or they will refund the purchase price.
Superior support
Crucial offers free expert technical support for its products via e-mail, phone, and online chat.
International reach
In March 1999, Crucial Europe opened for business to offer end users outside the U.S the same reliability, performance, savings, and convenience. European demand for Crucial memory upgrades has grown rapidly since the Crucial Europe launch, and the Crucial name has already become synonymous with superior quality.
