Is this PQI stick a good deal?

At Fry's, they advertised $79.99-20=$59.99 for a stick of 512mb PQI PowerMemory, which isn't a bad deal. I went over there and got the ic number off the stick and did some googling.

Those PMI's had an ic number of v58c2256804sat5. Kingmax, Transend, OCZ, Ultra and Gigaram use them. Even more interesting I found this two articles.

Look at "What's under the heatspreader?"

The chips in the pic are the same as the the PMI's, I think

Does this mean those PMI's might have the same potential, or are they failed chips, or am I just way off?
 
It might be ok, but i think you get what you pay for in general. People buy Mushkin, Corsair etc because of the tech support as much as anything else. If you arent going to OC much, i would get them if thats a good price, else get the best memory you can afford - it can save you a lot of headaches later.
