I just ordered 128MB Crucial PC133 CL2 memory for $144 + shipping, but they also have the 64MB PC133 CL2 (your above link is CL3) for $73.09. I can't really give you a comparison between mushkin and crucial, but I'd imagine the CL2 would be a better deal since it's only 9 cents more http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/smile.gif.

I'll second the recommendation for Crucial over the generic from allstarshop.com.
Crucial is better than Mushkin's budget line, and cheaper than Mushkin's really good stuff.

Haven't had a problem overclocking Crucial yet. If you really want some extra headroom, get some PC133CL2 7E.
