Ahh, keep away from brokers :), buy ONLY from an established importer
or something like that. I buy Hyundai memory from the Danish importer
and I'm sure I get the real thing each time, modules made from chips
from the same run, on thier own SIMM PCB's mounted & tested at Hyundai...

Again dont buy from the "grey" market, buy directly from the source,
it might be a bit more expensive, but you KNOW what you get then...
I've yet to see a single bad Hyundai module here..
