Not only that, but so do Nforce boards and Intel chipsets, its ridiculous.
Personally i've had dodgy sticks from Corsair also, and unless they were great on price i wouldn't buy them again.
My preferred brand at the moment is Crucial, rock solid, excellent overclockers and usually come with the best quality chips (considering they actually own micron)
I was going to buy OCZ RAM for my new DDR3 build, but alas, it's an ASUS board so i chose not to this time and went for 4GB of 1600Mhz Kingston HyperX
Despite the grumblings about Kingston in this thread, yes they are known for their value RAM, but they are also the
original named brand module manufacturers and their enthusiast hardware is spot on.
Just because they have a large line of value RAM doesn't mean their enthusiast segment is utter *******s.
