I’ve been encountering this weird phenomenon when researching for cheap used RAMs sold in online marketplaces, they tend to be low profile, without all the LEDs & tall heatshinks. Some model number is just hard to find or unlisted in their brand site, I remember one (I eventually gave up trying to figure out which company manufactured the chips and if it worth the gamble of cheap but questionable mobo compatibility) was a Kingston OEM for Aurora7, probably just a Value model made specifically for Alienware/Dell.
But then, I found some models which just don’t correspond to their types, for example this DRAM stick’s model number is M471A1K43BB1-CRC, which according to SAMSUNG site is SODIMM!
Anyone know what’s this about?
