Mushkin Level I, what chips?

Loser post!

People, I've been looking and I can't find a piece of info. I have a pair of 256MB PC3200 Mushkin RT Level I. The part number is 991088. Does anyone know what chips are on these? I bought them in November 2003. The heatspreaders are green.

Thanks, if you can give me anything.

I'm just taking a guess. Possibly CH-5. The CL2 Level I series uses those chips. I think your RAM is sometimes referred to as the Black Line series (though the heatspreaders can be any color )

This is what CH-5 looks like when the heatspreaders are removed. Sometimes the module makers will put their own markings on the chips.

Thank you.

Will remove spreaders when I get home and check. I'm using GSkill TCCD in my A64 box, but with all this talk about what chips are best for this or that over in the DFI-SLI/Ultra-D thread, I started to wonder about that mushkin.

There is no reason to remove the heatspreaders. The Mushkin lifetime warranty is voided once you take them off. But if you absolutely have to...

How can I verify the chips without removing the heatspreaders?

That's assuming that I "just have to" know, of course, but I'm pretty curious. Besides, at this point, I'm pretty sure those sticks are sticking around. It's not really a performance machine anyway, if I had to drop $70 on a pair of Crucial at some point in the future, I wouldn't care much.

Usually you can't. Have you gone to Mushkin's support page and posted there? The technicians there are usually pretty helpful about questions you have.

This is the memory in question. Link

Just judging by the price and the SPD timings, I'm guessing CH-5, though I could be wrong.
