RAM question

Hi There,
I need an answer for the following from people who knows RAM:

I recently ordered a Kingston RAM (KVR400X64C3A/512) from an on-line store.
What i got is a samsung RAM, both chips and board.

I'm aware to the fact that Kingston ValueRAM has a few companies that produce its chips, however for this model, Samsung is not one of them, the board itself shouldn't say Samsung either.

In the way that it was packed there are stickers that actually block the fact that its a samsung. (an image will be uploaded if needed)

Do i have a reason to be suspicous and think that certain companies add a Kingston sticker to certain PC3200 RAM products to boost up the price? since Samsung is 20$ less, what i got is a 100% Samsung RAM nothing suggests that its a Kingston. (i own a few KVR's and i never saw something like this)

Please tell me what you think, when i addressed the issue in the stores forum i got a very negative response.



Thanks you.
 
I would get the program CPUZ. It is a free program. Under the SPD tab check what the manufactor is and make sure it is pc3200(400), and CL3-3-3 ddr 400. It sounds like they was trying to cheat you with cheaper ram then you order. I more concern that they gave you slower ram then you was suppose to get. If it not pc3200 you got cheated big time.

Samsung is damn near #1 memory maker, you sure about that? Not to mention Samsung rules ... i suppose we could get into a discussion about the impact of the maker but if we were being that picky we wouldnt be talking about valueram
