I only use Crucial memory modules, which use Micron roaches, and I haven't been dissapointed yet. I have 256Mb of SDRAM in one box (2x128Mb) and 128Mb of 50ns ECC/EDO DRAM in another. Of course, I also used good mainboards, a Soyo board in one and an Intel PR440FX in the other. I haven't seen a kernel panic yet on this hardware using FreeBSD. I did see kernel panics in Linux due to a problem with Samba, which, in fact, is why I switched to FreeBSD. Likewise, my Win2k machine hasn't blue screened yet. Luck? I doubt it... I know some colleagues of mine use IBM branded memory, though I think IBM buys the individual roaches from Siemens. I've heard good things about these modules. It costs more, but if you value a stable box - don't skimp on the RAM.
