Have one of those as well. As I understand, it's not DRAM but Flash memory, hence "smart". It doesn't lose its data on power failure. Compaq used it for example (mine are Compaq-branded).

Keep them or try to sell them as they could be something someone out there might need plus people these days can be too quick to throw things away only to regret it later.

They were not used in desktops or servers. I've seen similar modules that came out of printers (used for fonts) and modern arcade games. It's obviously flash memory, outside of the form factor it has nothing to do with SIMMs.
