Another thing that I'm not sure everyone is aware of... the links that make up these chains are individually molded.  There is a "rough spot" (mold mark or parting line) on one edge of each link.  You should be able to feel it if you run your fingers over the chain.  It's also visible if you look at a link in good light with a jeweler's loupe.

Every chain that I've purchased has been assembled such that all of the links are oriented the same way.  When you install the chain, you want to make sure the rough spot faces outward, away from the sprocket(s) and gear tower.  If you use the stock gear tower and the rough spot is toward the inside, it will worsen the skipping and noise problem mentioned in Pete's post above.
