Can someone tell me how to decode my fpo/batch#. Just want to know the production week and source.
 
My old P4 FPO: 3311A273

3 -> Manufacturer Location Code (See Below For Chart)
3 -> Year of Manufacturing (2003 in this case, 4 would denote 2004)
11 -> Week of Manufacturing (11th week)
A273 -> Tracability Number (No idea what this means).

Manufacturer Location Codes:

0=San Jose,Costa Rica
3=..............,Costa Rica
1=Cavite,Philippines
R=Manila,Philippines
7=..........,Philippines
9=Penang,Malaysia
Q=...........,Malaysia
L=............,Malaysia
8=Leixlip,Ireland
Y=Leixlip,Ireland
6=Chandler,Arizona

You'll find the FPO/Batch on the top of the processor and also on a label affixed to the retail box. :)
