Micron Technology, the manufacturer of the chips in the last gigabyte or so of $20 128 MB sticks I bought, labels its chips as follows:
"-6" = 60 nsec access time, "-5" = 50 nsec access time, "-0" = Untested, and "-A" = Untested, as well. All of the above are usually on a separate line which follows the basic chip part number, such as ... "mT 4LC16M4G3 " -5" ... which means a 64 Mbit (16Mbit by 4 bit) 3.3 volt DRAM chip, FPM in this case, which has been tested and is 50 nsec access time or better. "mT" is Micron Technology's logo. Other chip manufacturers use a similar system. I have never received any 128 MB sticks from either OWC or VU which contained untested chips.
