    RAM Pop qizz

    Yo al, i already asked this question on a previous thread but unfortunately i didnt get a concrete ans. I'm hoping this time around i'l be a little more successful. What i want to know is how long is the manufacturing year (of RAM specifically)? Its just that i've come across RAM sticks with their manufacturing date stamped as year 05 week 81. Any ideas?

    My guess would be year 05, week 31 and some smudged ink.

    Is there a prize in this quiz?

    different orbit round the sun, longer years = different planet.

    Re: RAM Pop qizz

    Only if i get a conclusive ans is there a prize. The reply mentioning that RAM manufacturers operate on a different planet is possible but not plausible. And btw cpuz is the where im getting my info. Unless its just a bug in the program.

    Re: RAM Pop qizz

    Without googling it, what "scrandman" said makes sense to me. Either that or its 05 bc, and the 81 weeks is out by a few zillion.

    Re: RAM Pop qizz

    Maybe 05 is a start point, and it's 81 weeks from then,

    So...sometime around July 2006?

    Re: RAM Pop qizz

    unless it's as simple as - year 05 week 81 - of the production run. and things are measured in production run lengths.

    don't make yourself ill over it though.

    Re: RAM Pop qizz

    Hmmm yeah could be, i was just wondering cuz i was trying to get a hold of the most recently manuafactured RAM for overclocking my system. Agh either way i'l just take it that that later the manufacturing date the more recent it is (and hopefully better for overclocking), even if the it does list the week as 81.
