e-phex, are u sure about that?...all of the generic spectek crap that i've purchased says "assembled in canada"...as far as i know - NO micron PCBs are assembled in Canada, so....i don't think spectek and micron are made on the same assembly line - in fact, i'm almost sure they're not.
spectek is some awful ram for oc'ing...in fact, it's some awful ram altogether...i've had some sticks being misreported in size, cause faulty functioning (lock-ups), etc...generally it works fine if u run it by its SPD eeprom settings, but i wouldn't suggest running it more aggressively if stability is what u're after.
