Incorrect or fake SPD for G.Skill memory?

[dawei213]

I recently purchased a set of G.Skill DDR500 PC4000 2x1 gb (GBHZ series) memory from a fellow member on the board (yes, I'm still living in the stone age, relatively speaking). When I checked out the SPD through CPU-Z, it gave me the follow result:

Slot 1 is the memory i've purchased while slot 2 is the original G.Skill GBHZ memory that I have. I was expecting to have the SPD as my original. Could the SPD be wrong? Or could the memory be fake? I don't know. It looks exactly just like my original ones. The serial number sticker on it. Even the PCB board used for the memories between my original ones and the ones purchased are identical. I've searched online everyone and I can't find another instance in which the G.Skill F1-4000USU2-2GBHZ comes up with the SPD info of manufacturer as Samsung and the part number as listed in the picture.

I am running it at 243mhz right now and been running prime95 for over 2 hours without any issues.

Anyone have any thoughts?

I would have to say slot #1 is the lesser of the 2. Maybe someone re-tagged it. I have never seen re-badged memory but I have heard of it. Unfortunly the way most motherboards work is that it will run all the memory at the slowest RAM speed, regardless of the other speed of the memory.

well back in the day g-skill did sell some regular DDR tha was samsung TCCD ram and it had higher frequencies.

i also wouldnt trust the timings table in cpu-z, i know alot of the time it shows wrong or other info. my 500Mhz hyper x never showed any timing over 400 and my geil golden dragons had 2 different sets of timings in the tables and they were a "matched pair"
