Wait. What? Can Memtest identify ICs? How does that work exactly? Never heard about this function in Memtest. Is the IC information coded into the SPD? I thought IC information in general was shrouded in secrecy and was something memory manufacturers kept for themselves? What is the point of, for example, http://ramlist.i4memory.com/ddr3/ if you can just read the ICs of Memtest?

The videos you linked contained no mention of reading ICs from what I could see? I am very confused now. How do I do it in Memtest exactly?
