Crucial Technology Web Site Ranked in Top 5% of Channel Friendly Sites by ChannelWEB Business Wire - June 04, 1998 18:09 %MICRON-TECHNOLOGY MU %IDAHO %COMED %COMPUTERS %ELECTRONICS V%BW P%BW BOISE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 4, 1998--Crucial Technology's Web site, crucial.com, was recently selected by ChannelWEB as one of the top 5% Channel Friendly Web sites in the reseller business. To be selected for this award, Web sites must provide useful and timely product and pricing information, training and education, and low barriers to entry for small- to medium-sized resellers to participate. ChannelWEB is the single site where resellers and retailers can access any conceivable piece of channel related information, services and tools. With over 1,000,000 impressions per month, ChannelWEB is the largest independent web-based channel service available. "We are pleased to have www.crucial.com selected by ChannelWEB as one of the top Channel Friendly Websites. Our web site allows resellers and end users to order directly from the same Micron factory where OEM computer manufacturers like Compaq, Gateway, IBM, Hewlett Packard, Micron Electronics and others buy memory to install in systems they manufacture," says Scott Schoenherr, Crucial Technology's General Manager. "The Crucial Customer Program is specifically designed to meet the growing needs of corporations and resellers who frequently buy memory direct. We offer the highest quality memory products with 'direct from the factory' savings." An important educational aspect of crucial.com is the background it provides on memory. crucial.com provides a good overview of Micron's DRAM fabrication process -- from silicon to finished memory modules. One of the hallmarks of Crucial Technology's web site is its database-driven program (http://silicon.micron.com/crucial/cart/html/selector.cfm) that helps users select the correct memory upgrade. Users only have to enter their computer manufacturer and the model, and the database comes back with a list of guaranteed compatible memory upgrades. "The most difficult part of upgrading the memory in a computer is not installation, it's getting compatible memory," says Crucial Technology Marketing Director Lori Lewis. "Our web-based module selector is one of the most advanced in the industry, and it insures that users get the correct memory for their systems. We have spent hundreds of hours developing this resource, and we believe it is the best available." Besides selecting the exact memory needed, visitors to the Web site can also learn more about memory and how to upgrade their systems. The crucial.com site contains the following additional resources: -- A step by step view of how memory is manufactured in our billion dollar manufacturing facilities (http://www.crucial.com/html/manufacturing.html) -- An FAQ list, including a primer on the differences between EDO, Fast Page Mode, Sync, and ECC (http://www.crucial.com/html/faq.html). -- A visual reference guide for identifying different types of memory (http://www.crucial.com/html/moduleid.html). -- A discussion of web security issues and Crucial Technology's secure server (http://www.crucial.com/html/encryption.html).
