I ordered 4 GB of Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC2 8000 CL5 Memory from tigerdirect. Ramlist says it could contain D9G chips or unknown chips. How can I tell what chips I have? The memory has a heat shink on it which prevents me from viewing the IC's directly.

Info on Memory packaging

Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC2 8000 CL5 w/LED EPP
part number - BL12864AL1005.16FD3
1 Gb 240 Pin unbuff DIMM 128MX64 DDR2
CL1117D.K7

the 8000 is a high bin part on crucial's end.

i'm gonna say they are D9GMH.

edit: there was a way of telling w/o taking the spreaders off but i can't find the pic.

Isn't Crucial a Micron subsidiary? If so ain't it always Micron chips just maybe not the particular D9 types?

Correct.

Also correct, although as far as I know, all Ballistix have D9 IC's. Of course, that may have changed, and we just didn't hear about it. That wouldn't surprise me, either.
