Never had any problems with them, and I've recommended them to other
people who also never had any problem with them. However, they are so
generic that each batch can be from a different manufacturer. So you may
have a bad stack and the next stack you buy(right, I fully understand you
won't go there again, neither would I) might work fine. CompUSA doesn't
rate very high on my list of retailers, I imagine their suppliers make
sure product that meets certain quality control limits is reserved for
CompUSA :-)
