crucial warranty?

[Christo]

Think this has been asked before

i got some crucial memory from ebuyer about 9 months ago

what is the warranty length on crucial memory? would it be a waste of time
attempting to RMA it so long after order?

TIA

It's "lifetime" on memory.

"Crucial warrants to the original customer purchasing
products directly from Crucial ..."

It's not lifetime when an aftermarket part, some are only 1
year. To answer OP's question, no it wouldn't be a waste of
time to "try" to RMA it. It would however be a waste of
time to contact ebuyer at this point.

I've always had a problem with 'lifetime' warranties - I mean your idea of
lifetime, my idea of lifetime and Crucial's idea of lifetime are (probably)
not going to be one and the same. I mean I couldn't call them about some RAM
I have in a 12-year-old box, which I know is definitely dead, and expect
them to hold good, now could I?

It depends on the wording of the warranty, but in theory, yes.

Their site has a blurb about market value... monetary
compensation I suppose.

If you sent them those (SIMMs?) they might send you 5
shillings?

What's market value?

Have you looked at the cost to get EDO RAM new today?

That would be replacement value rather than market value.
I did just look at the cost of a new 32MB EDO SIMM though,
is uner $10 at several places... though I didn't look at
Crucial, it wouldn't surprise me if it were significantly
more there.
