Every specification in the RamQuote catalog carries a verification status. This page explains what the labels mean and how the data gets there.
Counted live from the catalog: 700+ part numbers · 4,600+ verified fields · 18,400+ source citations · 400+ OEM cross-references.
Specifications are extracted from sources we fetch and read ourselves: manufacturer datasheets first, then OEM documentation and independent distributor listings. A field is marked verified only when independent sources agree. Two pages copying the same datasheet count as one source; independence matters more than count.
Module pages show this next to each field. A note such as "datasheet + 2 more" or "3 sources" is the field's evidence: how many independent sources back that exact value, and whether a manufacturer or OEM datasheet is among them. Entries that have not yet been through this process say "Specs from the moderated catalog".
A field confirms with fewer sources when a manufacturer or OEM datasheet backs it. Distributor-only consensus needs more independent agreement before it publishes. Conflicting sources never auto-publish: they are held for review.
Fields verified by a human during real trades or manual review are locked and take precedence over machine confidence. Automated passes never overwrite human-verified values. A module with at least one confirmed specification carries the Verified mark at the top of its page.
Interchangeability and server-fit notes are based on matching JEDEC specifications and OEM documentation, not per-server testing. Server fit is graded honestly: Confirmed means the module, or its OEM equivalent, appears in the vendor's memory documentation; Vendor match means the vendor's own part cross-reference matches at a validated speed. Always confirm against your server vendor's qualified parts list before ordering.
Every module page has a "Report an error" link. We check reports against manufacturer documentation, usually within a business day.
