I developed this process while a Sr. Tech for ITT Servcom, Corp. and saved them millions of dollars to date.
Wow, how many PC's did you recover this way?
If we average 50 US$ per RAM stick, it needs to make US$ 2,000,000 (the bare minimum to say million
s) :
2,000,000/50=40,000 sticks
Assuming that less than 5% of all the PC's develop this kind of problem, and averaging two sticks per PC, it means that you were managing (prudentially) something like
40,000/0.05=800,000/2=400,000 PC's
Supposing this chore was spread over a 5 year period, averaging 230 working days per year:
40,000/5=8,000 sticks per year
8,000/230=34.78 sticks per day
Assuming 8 hours of work per day:
34.78/8=4.35 sticks per hour
i.e. more or less one stick every fifteen minutes.
...or you had just one day per week for "RAM laundry" say Friday?
in the latter case we have
34,78 x 5=173.91 sticks to be washed on friday that makes:
173.91/8=21.74 sticks per hour, i.e. something like one stick every three minutes.
I know that "hundreds" sounds very similar to "millions", but maybe you got confused....
