Your question *was* answered. I have seen random memory
issues crop up in anything from a few months to a few years, depending
on the system (things such as memory voltage levels make a
difference).
One normally begins to see nasty buildup on the gold contacts
in a few months. How long till it fails depends, on environ, voltage,
contact area, pressure applied by the clip, etc...
Simple rule, just don't mix em.
