The problem that I thinkt he OP is alluding to is that you can't be 
sure, even buying the same product, that you're getting the same 
hardware.  The chips on the card can change between batches, so you go 
from a "Just Works" piece of hardware to a "Doesn't Works" within the 
same model number and brand.
