The op's post is for 2 gig - your extra 2 dollars only get you 1 gig.

How reliable are Crucial rebates.

I have an older computer and I think this is the memory I need. How do I check to ensure compatibility?

Thank you. I confirmed this is the memory I need.

Any comment on the dependability of rebates from Crucial?

I picked this up about a month ago and didn't think to post it... I thought surely it would've already been posted! And to think I missed out on a Front Page credit!

I actually got this for somebody else, so I have no idea whether or not the rebate has come yet. Anyway...

Go to http://www.crucial.com/ and click on "scan my computer" to find out what you've got. Then you can input your brand and model for a compatibility chart.

They make it pretty darn easy and anyone reading this can do it in seconds!

Never a problem and i have done about 20 i think. But they are pretty slow, around 10-12 weeks.

Crucial rebates are dependable. I've received several rebates from Crucial, and never had a problem. I believe they were fairly typical - about 10 weeks to receive. None of the "lost in the mail" excuses I've heard so many times from others.

Crucial is a division of Micron, and I believe they would rather pay the rebates than destroy their reputation. This is excellent quality memory, too. Much better than the generic stuff.

I'll vouch for Crucial's customer service. I forgot if I've done a rebate with them, but I don't recollect any negative memories regarding their rebates.

Their customer service may not be ideal, but it's still one of the best out there. I got their Ballistics DDR 500 and it kept burning out (could be RAM, mobo, PS, compatibility, etc.) even when I ran it below DDR 400 speeds. They replaced it 5-6 times until they ran out of stock a few months ago and offered me store credit instead (so I can buy their DDR 400 standard memory). Their RAM in-store is expensive though, so I've been waiting months for this deal.
