it jsut remains blank for me
EDIT: sry all of a sudden it works :stick:
when did you buy that stick? Its definately winbond. i cant help notice that capacitor knocked out of its place. id fix that if i were you. easy fix. umm that is probably BH-6 or CH-6 if u bought it like 2 years ago its BH-6
i'm not sure if their is a BH-75 if their is its that....

Craig, nope... A-series was pre B-series.
I don't belive they are BH-5 or CH-5 until i see some high 2-2-2 action.
The circles are from a moulding machine that is very common in taiwan. We know winbond has rings but they are not the only ones.
Try them if you can but don't get your hopes up.

Hello:
they do not arrive at 2-2-2, they do 2-3-3 with 2.5v only but 3.3v they continue doing the same :mad: also I have a kingston hiperX that happens to them the same but 2-3-2...and also they have the circles
none of the two memories happens of 225Mhz...this clear that these Chips is not winbond, but that is? ( it is for not returning to buy them :D )
Salu2.
266x72 72=registered dimm... was not aware of bh-5 registered mem.

I'm talking about kingstons rebadging system. They called the new line 5A or something once they ran out of BH5 chips. Then they were using CH5 chips.

I don't think that's BH-5 ;)
But the IC is real Winbond chip

It's most likely CH-X RAM. Perhaps CH-6 or even CH-7 (or 7.5, can't remember which one was listed on the Winbond Homepage).
But if you can get it cheap, give it a try. It's week 22 2004 RAM, so it'll never be either BH-x or the new Winbond UTT.

Ahhh, sorry craig. Misunderstood you there.
@ OPB, how can you be sure? I heard from one of the OCZ-ppl that the circles are not just winbond. I can be wrong though :confused:

They come from a ceramic machine that is apparantly very common in the memory market. I have quite a few chips with 2 dimples that are not winbond.

Well, don't believe everything the OCZ employees want to make you believe. ;) It's partly right and partly wrong what they said.
It's correct that the dots are not only found on winbond labled chips, but, not all chips with another label, are really from another manufacturer. There are a lot of companies that buy chips from winbond and print their own label on it, to sell them as their own product, but it still is and will be winbond manufactured chips. :D
And NOW, finally believe us that this is no BH-5 or BH-6 RAM. That is impossible! We know what we are talking about and obviously you don't don't know as much as we do, thus the conclusion is: BELIEVE US THAT IT'S NO BH-5 RAM by 99.9999999999%. :D :toast:
But it sure is Winbond based! So as I already said, if you can get it cheap, give it a try. ;)

But ProMos chips looks exactly the same way! And I'm sure many others as well.

Promos doesn't manufacture chips AFAIK! They buy chips they can get for a good price (or for whatever reason) and then they relabel. ;)
And you didn't really get what I said in my previous protings, did you? :rolleyes: I honestly don't think so. Read them again, perhaps that'll help. Don't misunderstand me. No offence taken! I just want you to realize what is going on in the memory market. The on-chip logo doesn't count ~75% of the time. ;)
what are you talking guys? That aren't 7,5ms chips only because there is a 75 at the end!
My BH-5 Kingston relabeled habe a DW-45 at the end, and what is 45 in your eyes? 4,5ms? There aren't BH-5/6 Chips with 4,5ns Chips :p:
So the last two number are an internal branding of Kingston and not the ms!
You have to try the stick out.
