Not really random but in consecutive serial number lots. The PCB's come in from the vendors
who make them on a JIT delivery basis. As the supply from a previous delivery from "what
ever" vendor runs out the PCB's from the next JIT delivery are rolled onto the line. They
could be green or black just depending on the vendor they came from. This would happen
over and over as long as the stuffing line(s) were running the same given model family.

Having multiple vendors making/delivering parts is SOP in any manufacturing plant and is
mandatory in a JIT environment.

From the end-user perspective it is random then, I suspect that is what the question was really about.

EVGA Superclocked 8800gtx Green PCB. I lve the card, not really liking the drivers too much though.

i'm running the 97.44's and i don't really have a prob with them, i think they were the last "supported" drivers for rivatuner - my 8800gts clocks nice with them and i havent seen any IQ problems running COD2 at all.

the only drivers i did have a problem with were the 97.02's... my rivatuner final would only run in 3d proformance, it wouldn’t clock it’s self down at all – even when I was running in a 2D application (desktop). Once I switched to the 97.44’s my problems went away.
