claims RMA rates of memory kits based on Elpida hyper memory chips have recently shot up by 50 percent, and also that there are rumors that the Japanese memory maker is recalling recent batches.
Elpida memory chips are thought to be best in class at the moment, being the only chips capable of 2000 CAS7 on just 1.65V, but it seems something is going terribly wrong. Dozens of people are reporting their brand spanking new memory was found dead in its packaging, with the cause a mystery.
The chips apparently work fine when they are tested at the factory, but somewhere between packaging and opening, fatality strikes.
