Are you asking about part numbers affected by this defect or part numbers 
for the memory modules themselves?

When I contacted one of our parts sources for pricing on spare memory 
modules, I was kind of surprised to be told the 1gb module for a Sup720 is 
a different part than the same size module for a 6708.  I don't know if 
they're really not interchangeable or if cisco just slapped different part 
numbers on the same modules for different uses.
