I bought some K-Byte brand PC2100 memory recently because a rebate and coupon made it slightly cheaper than free.

I thought that Spectec would be OK because they're owned by Micron, but then I learned that Spectec was specifically set up to sell refurbished/used memory. Elixir seems to be owned by Nanya, but I don't know if their chips are brand new or
