I decided to buy from Komusa when KnowledgeMicro started jerking me around.
I ordered two 512MB PC3200 (DDR400) Samsung RAM chips. Also ordered two high-quality aluminum RAM sinks. ($173 total)
Free shipping was only for one RAM chip... which is OK considering how cheap they were to begin with. I actually got Samsung RAM modules (some companies give you generic when you specifically purchase a name brand product).
I have yet to fully test the chips with my motherboard, I will update this post once I do.
Shipping was USPS Priority. Packaging was adequate. Overall, very good service / website for a relatively new company. Prices can't be beat.
Update:
RAM works absolutely perfectly and the heatspreaders helped to keep the temperature down.
I highly recommend KOMUSA for future buys.

I have purchased RAM from Hardcorecooling several times, with no problems whatsoever, everything ran as avertised. It appears that everyone in the other thread who got the vdata chips instead of the Winbond were able to return the RAM, but as far as I can tell, iit appears that it did not overclock in their systems well.
I was able to push the OCZ PC3200 I got from them to 494Mhz, and the system booted just fine. Of course, Winblows would not load, but that was to be expected.

If windows won't boot. Pushing the RAM till 600Mhz will not be any difference either.

Well, yea, but windows is a fragile piece of crap. Linux booted, although it ran inconsistenly.

Still the same thing I'm gonna say. Inconsistency has cost me alot in the past. But I bet that OCZ could run at 450 but what timing was it at??
