What is surprising about that?

Ive used no name ram in my last 2 PCs and many other PCs I've built without issue. Sorry you had bad luck.theacoustician said:Enjoy your random crashes and blue screens.

I'd even be willing to go over 75%

This isn't to say you have to buy the top of the line from these manufacturers. Their value lines are usually pretty decent if you're not overclocking or doing weird things with your system. However, the no name crap RAM being pushed out is asking for headaches from your machine for months to come. More so if your system is dual channel.
If you're bound and determined to buy cheap shit, make sure there's a decent return policy on it. When you get home with it, run Memtest86+ (http://www.memtest.org/) for a couple of hours. If you come up with ANY errors, take it back.
