What does this RAM marking mean?

[HotPeaSoup]

Hello

 

I am trying to upgrade my mothers Dell Latitude E6420 with another 4 GB RAM stick, but found a number on the stick that is installed in the machine and I do not know what it means. I have added a picture of the ram with the number in question highlighted.

I found several places to buy exactly that RAM according to the specs, but most of them differ in the number in question.

 

What does it mean? Is it important? I couldn't find anything about it.

 

Thanks in advance!

I dont think its important. Probably some SKU or part numbers or whatever. The important numbers are PC3-10600S

It is the week and year that your RAM stick was manufactured.

 

@artificialRAGE was right, for your purposes, you can safely ignore this...

Can confirm. You'll find similar numbers on Samsung and ADATA laptop RAM as well.

If your laptop had say 2 x 4GB sticks from the factory, both those numbers should match, assuming they used 2 sticks from the same batch.
