I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but... I just bought some "Micron" RAM from a company off the net, but I think they sent me some generic crap. b4 I call and bitch a them, does anyone know how to tell if it's micron? The RAM says 'V-data'.

If it don't say MT, it ain't Micron...

P.S. Be sure to read the fine print when buying online... A lot of sites will say that if an item is "out of stock", or "unavailable", that they can substitute it with another "comparable" brand or product...
 
Are you looking at the PCB or the memory chips (the small black plastic things mounted on the PCB)? Micron memory has an MT in the part number on the memory chip. If you buy micron memory you aren't buying a Micron PCB unless you buy from crucial or buy crucial brand memory.
