*rubs eyes* I don't see :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:.......lol
wow, this is really weird.
turn up the monitors brightness, i'm on a laptop, that is very bright.
With all this voltage running through this ram is anyone concerned about cooling?
If you are, here is a link to a site that has pictures of a possible solution. It seems to work pretty good on this guy's PC2700.

Hey Rabbi,
Here we go again, chasing down a specific ram at every online retailer known to man. Weren't we doing this not too long ago?
thats gorgeous cooling.
but i'm not too worried about it. if i get this ram or vx the system will have an xp-90 on it so that helps to cool the ram a bit.
I'd have got speed premium but it isn't on sale in the UK :(Quote:

Winbond chips can ALSO be identified of the FOUR metal spots they have at the end (corner) of each chip close to every corner of it.........Two metal spots on each side....... ;)
hipro5 i think i have seen those metal spots on Jetram RAM and they were definately not winbond! ill have to check !Quote:

Yes but they HAVE to have two rounded dots on the chip and four metal spots on their corners too........ ;)
heh, i got the last 4 of those 512 winmos, will report back with what have you!! :banana4:Quote:

If anyone is near a Fry's they just happen to be running a rebate offer as well so they can be had for about $55-$60 (after tax, net of rebate).
Only problem about the rebate is the old "one per household" rule, but we all know how to get around that. :)
Tekheads aren't too bad for stuff like that but Komplet are totally clueless/unhelpful. I think the best guys for checking steppings etc are CPU City, but afaik all their Twinmos stock is too old to be of any use in this situation.Quote:

(*) Metal Dots
(*) 44D (or 50D) TMD marking
So, did I miss or screw something here? What else do I need to check? I can only check for these markings at the store without actually needing to plug them in a PC. Thanks...
All of the above are correct.Quote:

In addition to the "two dots marking" which I presume you to mean the Winbond circular markings on the chips, there is also the small hole in the lower left corner of the chip. The metal "dots" on the sides of the chips are more like a protrusion, just a small metal band, almost like a little staple along the edge of the chip.
The PC2700 rated chip, which is the "60D" has also been identified as being able to hit the same high speeds and it has been found in in OCZ's value ram, which I think they call their Premier Series (it has the BP PCB also), as well as the TwinMOS.
Good hunting!
Got one pair 1 GB (512 x 2) less than 200$

tnx reefa
You should be able to get them for less than 150$USD
hohohoho in my country ???? impossible :D :D
Oh... I didn't see that... Best of Luck in OCing those
Turned up the brightness and contrast... I see one middle dot on the IC far right (middle dot nearess top) cant seem to see the other one though. Havnt got PS installed to probe for further investigation :DQuote:
