hmm. i'm sure i've been to this situation in a way or another numerous times, but this is about the first i met this kinda problem.
offhand i could remember:
Convergent System (Kingston / Lexar / Abit motherboards)
Corbell (MSI motherboards / Corsair RAMs, Antec PSUs)
Ban Leong (OCZ Memory, ASUS, Powercolour graphics cards)
