Even Deeper

A Lenovo T420S wants DDR3 PC3-10600 RAM.

Going back through my order history, that's what I ordered for Crispy IV.

What was in there was 2x8gb DDR3L PC3-12800 RAM.

The only time I've ordered that was for DerpyPuter.

Even more perplexing is the DDR3L RAM is Crucial brand.

The only time I've ordered that was for DerpyPuter.

All the previous orders for the Lenovos has been Timetec brand.

Working from the theory that I'd recycled some take-out RAM from the machines as delivered...

I've found the RAM I took out of all the Lenovo's and everything is accounted for and I cannot figure out why Crispy IV had Crucial in it and not Timetec.

The T410's came with a single 4gb stick, those got upgraded by adding a single 4gb to the other slot.  The T420's all came with two 4gb sticks and they've all been upgraded to 16gb with 2x8gb sticks.  I have baggies labeled for each machine and they have 2x4gb in them. 

All I can figure is they messed up my order and I just slapped it in because that was the only RAM I'd ordered that week.

Two and a half years of feeding it 1.5v instead of 1.35v might just have taken its toll.
