Corsair's Micron equipped modules provided the same stability results as EMS' PC133 HSDRAM that was recently put up for sale at http://www.pc133memory.com/. Unfortunately, the cost of the modules have kept them out of the reach of many users in the market for a memory upgrade.
While Micron was often criticized for recently having poor quality products, the Corsair/Micron combination seems like one that is quite unstoppable in comparison to the rest of the entries here. The PC133 specification should keep on improving, forcing manufacturers to produce higher quality modules that will hopefully, in the future, be stable at higher FSB frequencies. But for now, the Corsair/Micron combination is one of the most stable out there.
