Does this look like MICRON DDR PC3200 to you?

I just bought this memory from auction, it was listed as MICRON 2GB 2 x 1GB PC3200 however I have never seen any Micron memory that looks like this and it flat out refuses to work in any of the systems I have (they all work fine with Crucial/OCZ/Corsair, 1GB sticks too!).

Ok thanks Jokester,

Hmm when I install them the system just flat out refuses to boot and all the mobo alarms start sounding off.

Can't say I seen such a fail before except for a single 256MB stick of Corsair PC2700 I came across many years ago.

Have booted PC using my other memory, made adjustments to vDimm, Timing etc and then replaced my sticks with the ones above and no go! The systems work fine with other 1GB sticks so its not a memory size issue?

Ah well emailed seller for a refund, just really didn't look like Micron sticks to me as they normally have a micron sticker of some sort?

Thanks for that list sr4470, hmmm . . .

It won't work on an nVidia nForce-2 Ultra 400 chipset (ABIT NF7 v2), maybe I will knock up a quick system using an nVidia nForce-4 (ASUS A8N-E) to see if that works?

Apart from that I have a mate still using a VIA KT333 which could be worth a quick test! (cough*upgrade*cough).

I'm normally pretty good at buying sticks, I assumed as it was Micron it would be fine (or at least it always has been in the past?).
