Sometimes "generic memory" is untested (or not well-tested) memory.
A major cost factor in memory production is testing. Manufacturers
are likely to sell untested and slightly out of spec memmory in
unmarked packages and a lot cheaper to integrators (the people
that put them on the modules).

However I recently had problems with an Infineon original module
(a weak bit), so by now I am not really trusting brand names either...
