I may not be adding to the discussion, but good luck buying at Fry's. In my
experience, getting 2 identical sticks of ram at Fry's is a crap-shot at
best; that's unless the twin sticks are packaged together. At the Burbank,
Woodland Hills and Industry Fry's, I was hard pressed to find a clerk
capable of getting 2 identical sticks of ram from the same bin.

I have a question about some Mushkin Enhanced 1Gb (2x512) PC3200 Cas2 Dual
Channel DDR
memory that Fry's is currently selling for $259.99 less a $50 mail-in
rebate ...... The dual
pack modules have large "dual Mushkin" logo labels on the blue heat
spreaders but they also
have Fry's part number 3602905 on that same label. The PCBs are dark
green/bluish and have
Mushkin Enhanced printed on them. There are 8 chips on each side of each
module (16 total
per module). I can not tell the manufacturer of the chips due to the heat
spreader. There is
no Level I or Level II descriptor on the module labels. The Fry's outside
packaging label
says:

DDR 1GB PC3200 Dual Pack
2x512MB 400MHa CAS 2
Dual Channel Mem LT/W
3602905

I can not find anything like these on Mushkin's web site and they are
closed this evening
(I'll try calling them in the morning).

The Mushkin website only lists two types of dual channel PC3200 1Gb dual
packs .... Level 1
@ $290 and Level II at $360, both with jet black PCBs.

Has anyone else figured out what these Fry's Mushkin dual packs really
are???

I'd like to use one of these 1Gb dual pack for a stock P4-2.4C 865PE setup
with no
overclocking, but I'm curious .... Is Mushkin starting to do Fry's/Mushkin
special labeling
or something??? Thanks, DW
