Anybody ever buy these memory kits?
Yes, I have purchased memory from pcwonderinc. I absolutely DO NOT
recommend them. They sent me a stick of memory that was supposed to be Samsung PC3500 CL2.5 memory. It acted like PC2700 CL2.5 memory. I returned it. Way to big of a performance difference for me to recommend their products - or even be neutral about the subject.

The memory had no markings and the package it came in had no markings
either. This alone is very suspicious and not what you would expect from a reputable seller. The stick had a heat sink on it and I didn't want to remove it. So I couldn't actually tell who the manufacturer of the memory chips were. Nor could I tell the speed rating, such as 7 ns or 6 ns. Remember that Micron and Samsung make slow memory as well as fast memory.

I did. The SPD data doesn't have to reflect the max the memory is
capable of.

You can also benchmark the read/write speed with this freeware program. From the feeback this site received it seems somewhat hit and miss on bizrate.com and good on resellerratings.com.
