I have some modules that I have no way to test, I would like to know how many MB they are?
I don't expect any large capacity modules among these, but it would be nice if some were.
I don't know if something like this exists, however, if anyone like me wants to know more, you can write here, waiting for a response, Thanks

AMD 286-16 287-10 4MB
AMD 386SX-33 4MB
AMD 386DX-40 Intel 387 8MB
Cyrix 486DLC-40 IIT387-40 8MB
486DX2-66 and many others
AMD 5X86-133 16MB VGA VLB CL5429 2MB
AMD K62+ 550 SOYO 5EMA+ and many others
AST Pentium Pro 200 MHz L2 256KB

Why not put them on a motherboard? You can easily find out about the specs in NSSI.

A-Trend ATC-1020 V1.1 ❇ Cyrix 6x86 150+ @ 120MHz ❇ 32MiB EDO RAM (8MiBx4) ❇ A-Trend S3 Trio64V2 2MiB
Aztech Pro16 II-3D PnP ❇ 8.4GiB Quantum Fireball ❇ Win95 OSR2 Plus!

Yes but not right away, I'm currently working on some newer PCs, and I wanted to catalog these RAMs, to preserve them, for future use.
However, I understood, looking at the other RAMs I have aside, that the two modules with SIEMENS chips are 8MB each, then those that have 514400 written in the chips are 4MB, I still haven't understood the capacity of the two modules with chips ACT, could the one with eight chips be a 16 MB?
For the SDRAM I don't have any useful information yet, we'll see later if I can figure out how many MB it is?

Did you try putting the chip numbers into google?

For example-- The last simm there has chips labeled "tm417400bj-6"

Google pulls up https://ram-co-shop.de/16-MB-FPM-RAM-60-ns-72 … -TM417400BJ-6_1
Which says that's a 16MB FPM simm.
