people need to realize that it might not be the ram manufactors that suck. you might have gotten unlucky and got a bad stick of ram.

even if you got some expensive ocz performance ram, there is still a chance you get a bad stick and will need to RMA it.

so don't give geil ram a bad name when you've had only one bad experience.

I've never gotten a stick of geil ram to work.

I've purchased 2 512 pc3200's (platinums no less), 2 256 pc 2700's and 1 512 pc2100

the only ones that would run at all where the 2 256'ers (it took 4 rma's to newegg), and even then they would only run as pc2100 with relaxed timings (slower than spd timings)

edit: the after 2 rma's on the platinums I replaced them with Samsung modules, after all the mess with the others the pc2100 stick I bought, I only rma'd it once, then had it replaced with samsung as well.
