Crucial differences.

October 12th, 2005

I was poking around Crucial’s web site to see if I could use my iBook G3’s RAM (PC133 SODIMM) in my iMac (which freston is always telling me is an iBook in a different costume).

The answer appears to be yes. But can anyone tell me what the difference between these three products is (besides a dollar or two)?

I’ve noticed this with other RAM vendors too: market segmentation (differentiated pricing for the same product) based on how you discover the product. Mac users are usually charged more; at Crucial the prices seem to be semi-random.
