Anyone had any experience with this RAM?

PQI product:

I can't tell if it's unbuffered or not because it doesn't say in the specs, as my motherboard calls for unbuffered non-ECC memory, but the timing and CAS latency values attracted me (and I can't return it, only RMA it for exchange). I probably should have bought this Patriot model instead:

I was also thinking of mixing the two if I decide to go up to 4 Gigs or RAM, since I already bought and received the PQI module (though probably smarter to order two of the Patriot modules, but I don't think they were available at the time I order the PQI).

EDIT: And when I got the PQI module, it said it was Single channel, it didn't even say that in the specs

My fault for not being careful, hopefully it works on my motherboard, ASUS P5GC-MX/1333.
