Is the memory known to be good?

hi, when I removed them from my old computers 25years ago for sure they were.

Same error for all the different memory modules? If yes, it points in the direction of the motherboard - try another board then?
If nothing it broken, it could also be an issue with timing and/or voltage.

I try to run memtest on old memory before using, at least that way I know the memory is ok.

try a different cpu if you have one, or at least remove and reinstall. I have had alot of cache and some ram errors on a faulty cpu socket before, reseating cpus would give different results which helped diagnose a socket problem

only these from 4th picture have the issue... other are ok.

the last number on the chips are the speed.
So you have a mix of 60 and 70ns Ram, faster is better so 60 are the more desirable.
The Topless (hehe) simply has a sticker telling you its 60ns

So use that first, but if that doesn't give you enough (say 4MB, I wouldn't have a problem adding a 70ns simm
