Lifetime Memory -- Major Manufacturer????

[milehigh]

A friend ordered some memory from a local vendor (128 MB PC-133). It is listed on the invoice as Manufacturer: Major with a lifetime warranty.

When I looked at the chips I expected to see something like Micron or Infineon or something along those lines. These chips are marked:
PGA
G3S88B75G
0117

Anybody ever see this type of ram before??

Do you think I'm nitpicking and should just shut up and use it??

Well, just keep the reciept.. The vendor should replace it should it go bad

With the price of memory these days I would have just bought the equivalent with Crucial, which was around $29 SHIPPED this last week. Personally I'd return it and buy it from Crucial or some other known vendor. These local vendors usually have some trick up their sleeve when it comes to lifetime warranty - they may require testing at the store, and if it works, it's considered working, etc.

for the price of ram today, if it goes bad, just buy another one for the cost to ship it back to manufacturer for rma.

I'm not so much concerned with the ram going bad, I'm more concerned with did the vendor give me what they advertise on their website and on the invoice. If they didn't I probably won't make a big deal out of it with this particular vendor, I just won't give them my future business...

ram doesn't go bad easily, most vendors are confident to give you lifetime warranty. let's say 1 out of 1000 goes bad, that costs them almost nothing to give you a new one.

Major manufacturer could be anyone with like 2 or more workers 😉

However, you probably have samsung or hyandi chips or something, just generic PCB and assembly.

Just give them a call and see if you were supposed to receive PGA chips!
