Anyone ever seen red RAM before?

Oh WoW Bear, now to me, THAT right there, is a beautiful sight! Thank you for sharing this delightful group of high-tech ex-NASA computer parts with us all. So we add some history, and how you got 'em like ya did, and there my metal hunt'n friend, is one of the big reasons I'm even on this forum. It's like, an awesome instant whack of inbound, totally verified, knowledge that I can bank or bet on now. My single little stick of red RAM, means WAY more to me now Bear, because of your help with my original query. Now, a perchance question friend. My stick, a DDR400, has 16 chips on it @512 Mg and has the brand "Eudar" printed on each of them. So, would yours be the same manufacturer maybe? What would the odd's be on that eh. lb

Thanks LB, I considered digging one out of the socket for a better shot, but, it was late and this wasn't easy to get to. I used a flashlight to find my way to it, and simply stuck the camera in for a closer look. I'll check today and see how difficult it could be to pull a stick for better shot. I'm afraid this machine came out as SGI was beginning to leave the high grade/ high performance MIPS CPU, made in USA machines behind, so it could possibly be Tiawan, but only a true inspection will tell. I still like to think "not China" though ; )
