Fremont, CA - Lexar Media, a leading global provider of memory products for digital media, announced that three of its most popular computer memory upgrades on Crucial.com won 2008 Buzzillions Reviewers’ Choice Awards. Winners of the Buzzillions Reviewers’ Choice Awards are selected based on the opinions of real consumers who have purchased and used the product and posted their reviews on Buzzillions.com (www.buzzillions.com), a leading hub for online customer reviews.

Crucial.com’s 4GB memory upgrades for Apple® iMac® computers won Best Computer Memory for Power Users, while its 1GB memory upgrade for Dell Dimension 2400 series PCs won Best Overall Computer Memory and Best Computer Memory for Casual Users.

Because actual reviews help customers make informed purchasing decisions, Crucial.com recently introduced the PowerReviews® tool on its Web site. The PowerReviews tool enables customers to review products and share their feedback on Crucial.com, and has averaged approximately 3,500 customer reviews per month since its inception. “The opinion that matters most to us is that of our customers, and it’s apparent our customers value each others’ opinions as well,” said Fred Waddel, director of e-commerce at Crucial.com. “The Buzzillions Reviewers’ Choice Awards reflect the value and success of this customer feedback strategy.”

Crucial.com offers over 250,000 upgrades for more than 40,000 systems, and delivers OEM-quality memory at affordable prices, backed by a limited-lifetime warranty. To find a compatible upgrade, users can go to the Crucial.com System Scanner at www.crucial.com/systemscanner. This downloadable tool quickly searches systems to accurately determine how much memory is currently installed, and then provides compatible Crucial memory upgrade recommendations.

Buzzillions.com is a product review site that categorizes its reviews by “user personality,” enabling consumers to get ratings and reviews from people just like them. “Most product awards are judged by a small group of industry experts,” said Andy Chen, CEO of Buzzillions. “The Buzzillions Reviewers’ Choice Awards are unique in that they are judged by the people, for the people.
