I will drop them an e-mail to see if this is true or my modules are
fake.
The guy has (as I mentioned before) a kind of virtual store. I must be
able to claim my money back if the product is fake.
The Ebay has a kind of arbitration forum and I will open the issue
there if I can not get my money back.

Other that that what I posted looks ok to you isn't it ? I mean it has
chips on each side, the number you expected and the board acording with
the manufacturer's specs should support the module. It may be the
module with problems.

Hopefully it's just a faulty module. AM apparently is just a
branding/packaging company. They are right smack in my tiny country
and I've never heard of them (quite remarkable given it only takes 1hr
to drive from one end to the other). So there's no information
whatsoever on the chips used since they repackage it.

Usually for the major dram manufacturer, I can find the datasheets
from their sites and it will tell you what kind of chip in what kind
of arrangement it was. For yours, all we can tell now is it *should*
be using 512Mbits chips but no further idea.
 
This would confirm what I suspected, as does your
drhardware report... that the 1GB is a single rank of all 16 chips, on
*both* sides of the module. This configuration is "supported" by VIA
chipsets (but *not* Intel) but is not covered by the JEDEC industry
standard for an unbuffered DIMM; even with VIA chipsets, the support is
limited in that more than one DIMM per system gets flakey.

I was guessing that was one of the reason but his original post of
1024mbits x2 got me all confused as to how to get 1024mbits on both
sides and yet remain a 1GB module. :(
