Mushkin's quality _has_ always been good. But that's because,
even for bargain memory, they were selling Mushkin memory.

These sticks are clearly not Mushkin memory. They were drop shipped
from who-knows-where and Mushkin didn't even bother to put a Mushkin
label on them. The kitty litter box scrapings I've bought cheap
from Frys look more professional...This Mushkin stuff has a sticker
that says "PC133". That's it. Read: "This stuff is so lousy, we
don't even want our name on it."

Of course, this will come back to burn them in the end, because
I won't feed at any more of their cheapo memory deals, and I
suspect I won't be alone on this...

I'm sure it'll work, and I'm using it for cheapo computers I'm
building for others, so it'll serve its purpose. But Mushkin dropped
a few pegs in my book.
