RAM Help!

ok, so I have this box... about the size of 4 shoeboxes. said box is filled with various RAM chips. my task is to organize all of this RAM (ECC/non-ECC, DDR/SD, PC133/PC100). my eventual goal is to have all the RAM together (like, 1 box with nothing but ECC, PC100 SD-RAM and such, which will then be further sorted by size).

sorting the ECC from non-ECC is pretty easy (the chips almost always look totally different), as is sorting the DDR from the SD-RAM (2 slots at the bottom of the chip vs 3 slots). PC100 vs PC133 is driving me crazy and blind, though.

anyone know of any good tricks to identify which is which? like I said, trying to find and read the lables on each RAM chip is slowly driving my blind. heh. not to mention the fact that some of the chips aren't even labeled. :/
 
I work at a Data Center, building/repairing servers. we keep a pretty large stock of commonly used materials needed for building new setups or replacing failing hardware (mostly cpu's, hard drives, and ram).

at one point in time, the ram was all organized, but over the course of a few months, it got pretty bad. it's gotten to the point where, when building a new setup, the most time-consuming aspec thas become finding ram for the box.

since I work 3rd-Shift, when it's usually pretty slow, I've taken on the project of organizing and (someday, when it's all organized) testing all of the RAM.
