I got a stick of memory here. I bought it before I knew anything about timings, voltage specs or much about clock speeds. The computer I got these for hasn't been built yet, so I haven't tested them. They're made by "Lifetime Memory," a company based in Southern California. anyway, on to the RAM. IDK much about them, other than that they're Micron chips. On the left top corner of the chips are the numbers 0525, and below that is MT(short for micron technology?). Below that are the letters TG. On the right, on the top right corner are the numbers 1-1(or I-I?), and below that is 46v64M8, below that is -5B D.
There are 2 stickers on these chips, one says "1GB DDR DIMM IH66282 PC-3200. One below that says "Lifetime Memory Products. Warranty void if removed. Q.C. Tested."

Forgive the noobness of this post. I can't test this stick yet, won't have my computer together for another week. Thanks for help.

P.S. What can I expect for stock timings and what can I expect to overclock these to? (gimme a ballpark, I know how hit-and-miss it is with OCing)

Expect nothing..
Only Know that it is possible to get them to 280Mhz with 3-3-3-8 T1

lol Thank You. That's nice, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. All I need now for my computer is to put the vid card in it and get a good working area. Thanks for the info, I swear I've looked EVERYWHERE for this. If you're willing to share, how did you find this out?

nope, missed that one. Google only turned up like 3 results for the numbers. not to mention idk what to look at for different chip types, like which specific number and whatnot.

Hence asking us for help is always a wise choice

yes it is :) I thank you. So these chips are seriously, basically ballistix on a different PCB under a different brandname?

Well no other company besides Micron makes -5B D, and they only make one type of -5B D.. So yeah.. Unless Micron is just trying to confuse us all
