One BIOS was in an Asrock/Asus KT400 mobo, the other in an ECS nForce3
mobo. Thaiphoon reported the same SPD timings for all of these PC3200
modules, but all the modules with the completely unmarked chips all
failed, most of those with Dxxxxxx chips failed, while almost all the
modules with Fxxxxx chips tested fine, and even the failing ones showed
only 3-5 errors.
