RAM issue in iStat

[mattspace]

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this, or if it's "normal". Something I can't recall seeing before "CHA - SPD".

I don't know what CHA-SPD means, but it shows up for me, too.

The SPD (Serial Presence Detect) chip on a memory module is an additional chip holding 128Hex bytes of information about the module.

This identifies the module to the BIOS during POST so the Motherboard knows its characteristics and timings that can be used.

Interesting to know. Is there a logic as to why only one DIMM has the tag, and why it stays with the first slot, even when the (identical) DIMMS are rotated?

I can’t answer that one.
