Someone from the local retro community is selling me these 2 8mb ram modules, he says they were working on a Pentium motherboard. I was trying to find info about them but I got nothing so far , I'm trying to upgrade a IBM valuepoint 325T , 6384 motherboard (I think) , which uses 72 pin simms. But I guess since is from 1992 it uses Fast page ram modules and it could be picky. Currently is using the 2mb on board plus a 2mb stick and a 4mb stick.
I know 16 mb of ram is overkill but given the opportunity why not?

EDITED:

I had to dig a lot of websites but i managed to get the IBM FRUs for the memory modules , bought one (64F3606) and it's working. These mb are very very picky when it comes to memory.
I'm copy - pasting the info here if someone in the future is looking.

According to a web search, these memory modules (0118160t3d) come from a TEXAS EXTENSA 560CD. Which is a Pentium laptop, so these are EDO. Since your computer is not a Pentium system, in fact it's a 386 isn't it? You need FPM memory modules.
